A slanted sans with sturdy, rounded construction and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes read as even and full, with broad joins and minimal modulation, giving the letterforms a solid, contemporary color. Counters are open and fairly generous, terminals are clean and sans-like, and the overall rhythm feels forward-leaning and energetic. The figures follow the same robust, curving logic, with rounded shapes and clear silhouettes that match the alphabet’s stance.
Well suited for headlines, branding, and poster typography where a strong, forward-leaning voice is desired. The substantial shapes and clean sans construction also work for packaging and sports- or tech-adjacent identity systems, especially where emphasis and motion cues are helpful.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, conveying motion and momentum through its consistent oblique angle and compact, powerful shapes. It feels contemporary and performance-oriented—more about impact and speed than delicacy.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, energetic sans voice with a built-in sense of movement from its consistent slant. The sturdy construction and rounded geometry suggest an emphasis on clarity and impact in display-oriented contexts.
The italic posture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping lines of text maintain a cohesive slant and texture. Rounded bowls and smooth diagonals keep the texture steady in longer settings, while the heavier presence makes it especially noticeable at medium to large sizes.
