A slanted sans with smooth, superelliptic curves and rounded terminals that keep strokes feeling soft yet controlled. Letterforms lean consistently, with broad, open counters and a steady, low-contrast stroke texture that reads evenly across lines. The geometry favors rounded-rectangle bowls (notably in O, D, and 0) paired with flattened shoulders and simple joins, creating a crisp, engineered rhythm. Numerals are similarly streamlined and robust, matching the overall forward-tilting stance.
Well suited to branding and headline settings where a clean, energetic italic voice is needed, such as sports identity, product marks, and contemporary editorial display. It can also work in UI and wayfinding-style graphics when a modern, forward-leaning emphasis is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is fast, contemporary, and slightly athletic, with a forward motion that suggests performance and momentum. Its rounded geometry keeps the feel friendly and approachable while still reading as precise and modern.
Likely designed to provide a modern italic sans that feels engineered and dynamic, using superelliptic rounding to balance technical clarity with friendly softness. The intent reads as an emphasis style that stays highly legible while projecting speed and contemporary polish.
Curves are smoothed and slightly squared-off in places, giving round letters a controlled, superellipse character rather than purely circular forms. Spacing and proportions appear tuned for clarity in short bursts of text, with a consistent slant and minimal ornamentation.
