A slanted sans with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and broadly rounded curves. The forms feel compact and forward-leaning, with smooth, continuous bowls and controlled apertures that keep counters open at display sizes. Terminals are mostly clean and blunt, while diagonals and angled joins add a crisp, mechanical rhythm. The overall texture is dense and even, with slightly condensed letterfit and a consistent, energetic slant across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short blocks of text where the slant and weight can deliver emphasis without needing delicate detail. It can work well for branding, sports and activewear communication, promotional graphics, and packaging where a modern, driven voice is helpful.
The forward tilt and hefty build give the face a sense of speed and confidence. It reads as contemporary and sporty, with an assertive tone suited to high-impact messaging where momentum and emphasis are desired.
The design appears intended to provide a robust, italicized sans for attention-grabbing display use, combining rounded geometric construction with a strong forward slant to communicate motion and immediacy.
Uppercase shapes are broad and simple with strong diagonals, while the lowercase maintains rounded construction and clear, sturdy punctuation of forms (notably in the single-storey shapes like a and g). Numerals follow the same geometric logic, with rounded figures (0,8,9) and angled strokes (1,4,7) that reinforce the energetic, engineered feel.
