A rounded sans with a consistent oblique slant and sturdy, even stroke weight. Forms lean toward simple geometric construction—broad bowls, smooth curves, and relatively open counters—paired with compact junctions and slightly tightened apertures in letters like C, S, and e. The uppercase reads stable and blocky, while the lowercase uses single-storey a and g with straightforward, contemporary shapes. Numerals are similarly robust, with clear, uncomplicated silhouettes and a uniform rhythm across the set.
Well-suited to attention-grabbing headlines, posters, and brand marks where a modern, active tone is desired. It also fits packaging and promotional graphics that benefit from a clean, rounded sans with added momentum from the slant.
The overall tone is energetic and contemporary, projecting a confident, no-nonsense voice. The slant adds motion and emphasis, giving the face a forward-driving feel that remains approachable due to its rounded geometry.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, rounded oblique sans for impactful display typography—prioritizing strong silhouettes, clear counters, and a sense of movement for marketing and brand-forward applications.
Diagonal strokes (notably in K, V, W, X, and y) feel crisp and decisive, reinforcing the font’s directional character. Spacing appears balanced for display sizes, with the oblique angle helping headlines feel active without becoming overly stylized.
