A compact, oblique sans with smooth, rounded construction and sturdy, even strokes. Curves are broadly circular and terminals finish cleanly without decorative endings, giving the letters a tidy, engineered feel. The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, while proportions stay relatively tight, with short lowercase bodies and strong, stable capitals. Forms like the single‑storey “a” and “g” and the closed, rounded counters reinforce a straightforward, contemporary rhythm.
Works well for headlines, brand marks, and promotional typography where a slanted, modern voice adds momentum. It’s also suitable for packaging and signage that benefit from compact spacing and strong, rounded forms, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-leaning, projecting motion and confidence without feeling aggressive. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable, balancing a sporty, contemporary attitude with clear, no-nonsense legibility.
The design appears aimed at a contemporary sans that communicates speed and modernity through a consistent oblique angle and rounded, geometric letterforms. It prioritizes impact and clarity in display settings while maintaining a clean, systematic look.
Numerals are sturdy and open, with clear distinctions between similar shapes, supporting quick scanning. Uppercase forms read solid and headline-ready, while the compact lowercase can feel dense at smaller sizes, favoring display or short text over extended reading.
