A geometric oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are largely even in thickness, producing a clean, monoline rhythm, while the italic slant adds forward motion. Curves tend toward superellipse-like bowls and counters, with squarish rounding in forms such as O, C, and 0, and compact, sturdy joins in diagonals (V, W, X, Y). Terminals are generally straight-cut and tidy, keeping the silhouette crisp despite the rounded geometry.
Works well for branding and display settings that benefit from a sleek, motion-forward impression—sports identities, product marks, and tech-facing communications. It also suits short UI labels, navigation, and signage where a rounded, geometric sans can stay legible while adding personality.
The overall tone feels contemporary and efficient, with a subtle industrial/tech flavor from the squarish rounding. The slant gives it a fast, energetic voice that reads as sporty and action-oriented without becoming aggressive.
The design appears intended to blend geometric rigor with friendly rounded corners, delivering a modern sans that feels engineered yet approachable. The oblique stance emphasizes speed and directionality, supporting applications that want a contemporary, active tone.
Letterforms show a consistent geometric system across uppercase and lowercase, with single-storey shapes where expected (notably the lowercase a) and open, uncluttered counters that help maintain clarity. Numerals match the same rounded-rect logic, giving mixed alphanumeric settings a unified, engineered look.
