A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, softly squared contours and very even stroke weight. Letterforms are built from broad curves and straight segments with clean terminals, producing a smooth, continuous rhythm. Counters are open and generously sized for the weight, and curves (C/G/O/Q) stay full and circular without sharp modulation. The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, giving the set a forward-leaning, energetic stance while maintaining clear interior shapes and sturdy joins.
This style performs best in display settings where impact and clarity matter—headlines, posters, identity marks, packaging, and short UI or signage phrases. The strong weight and open counters help it stay readable at medium sizes, while the oblique angle adds emphasis without needing additional styling.
The overall tone is upbeat and assertive, with a sporty, contemporary feel. Its rounded construction keeps the weight from feeling harsh, so it reads as approachable while still projecting strength and momentum.
The design appears intended as an energetic, high-impact italic companion for modern sans typography, prioritizing smooth geometry, robust presence, and quick recognition. Its rounded forms and consistent slant suggest a goal of combining friendliness with bold, forward motion for attention-driven use.
Lowercase forms lean toward single-story shapes (notably the a and g), reinforcing an informal, modern voice. The numerals are wide and stable, with simple, easily recognized silhouettes that match the font’s smooth, low-detail construction.
