A slanted sans with sturdy, even strokes and smoothly rounded curves. The design leans toward geometric construction—circular bowls and clean joins—while maintaining slightly humanist proportions for readability. Uppercase forms are compact and stable with broad curves (notably in C, G, O, Q), and the lowercase shows clear, open apertures and straightforward terminals. Numerals follow the same solid rhythm, with simple, uncluttered shapes and consistent weight across the set.
Well-suited for attention-forward typography such as headlines, posters, and branding where a strong slanted voice is desired. It should also perform well on packaging and signage thanks to its clear shapes, open counters, and consistent stroke weight.
The overall tone is contemporary and energetic, with the oblique angle adding forward motion and emphasis. Its confident weight and clean geometry feel practical and direct, suggesting a modern, no-nonsense voice that still reads smoothly in longer lines.
The design appears intended as a versatile, modern sans that delivers emphasis through a pronounced slant and sturdy construction. It aims to balance geometric clarity with readable proportions for impactful display use while remaining comfortable in short text settings.
The italic is a true oblique style rather than a calligraphic italic, keeping terminals and structure crisp and uniform. Round letters maintain generous interior space, and diagonals in letters like K, V, W, X, and Y contribute to a lively, athletic texture when set in words.
