This typeface is a slanted, monoline sans with broad proportions and a crisp, streamlined build. Strokes stay even in weight with softly rounded curves in O/C/G and clear, open counters throughout. Terminals are generally clean and cut with an oblique angle, giving letters a fast, forward-leaning profile. The lowercase uses single-storey forms for a and g, with compact bowls and short, efficient joins; the overall rhythm is open and airy with generous horizontal spacing.
It performs best in display settings where its wide stance and italic movement can communicate momentum—headlines, brand marks, sports and tech advertising, posters, and prominent UI/wayfinding labels. It can work for short text blocks when set with comfortable line spacing, but its broad set and slant are especially effective for titles and emphasis.
The overall tone is energetic and contemporary, with a forward-leaning posture that reads as speedy and purposeful. Its smooth geometry and clean detailing keep it neutral and professional while still feeling active and sporty.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, geometric sans with built-in motion: wide proportions for presence, an oblique angle for speed, and low-detail construction for clarity at a range of sizes. The consistent curves and angled terminals suggest a focus on clean reproduction in graphic and branding contexts.
Capitals show a consistent slant and simplified geometry, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) feel stable and engineered rather than calligraphic. Numerals are simple and legible, with rounded 0/8 forms and straightforward angled construction in 1/4/7 that matches the italic cut. The design maintains a cohesive mechanical cadence across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
