A slanted sans with broad proportions and a steady, even rhythm. Strokes are clean and fairly uniform, with subtle contrast showing mainly where curves transition into straighter segments. Terminals are crisp and mostly sheared to match the italic angle, while bowls and counters stay open and smoothly rounded. Uppercase forms feel stable and spacious; lowercase follows with simple, efficient construction and minimal ornament, keeping word shapes clear at text and display sizes.
Well-suited for branding and headline work where a sense of speed and modernity is useful, such as sports identities, tech messaging, and product marketing. The open counters and steady spacing also make it practical for UI labels, dashboards, and short-to-medium text where clarity matters but a neutral tone isn’t required.
The overall tone is contemporary and energetic, with the forward slant suggesting motion and urgency. Its clean geometry and open forms read as practical and confident, leaning toward a technical or sporty voice rather than a classic or literary one.
Designed to deliver a modern sans voice with built-in forward momentum, combining wide, readable forms with a consistent italic angle for emphasis. The intent appears to balance clarity and efficiency with a slightly assertive, performance-oriented personality.
The italics are integral to the design (not merely obliqued-looking), with consistent slanting across straight strokes, diagonals, and curves. Numerals are straightforward and clear, matching the same angled, streamlined logic as the letters.
