A heavy, right-leaning sans with smooth, rounded curves and clean, unbroken strokes. The geometry favors circular counters and broad bowls, paired with straight-sided stems that keep the silhouettes crisp. Terminals are mostly sheared to match the slant, and joins stay tight and controlled, producing a compact, forward-moving rhythm. Numerals follow the same simple, sturdy construction, reading clearly with minimal ornamentation.
Best suited for short-to-medium text at display sizes such as headlines, brand marks, packaging fronts, and promotional graphics where a bold, forward-leaning voice is desirable. It can also work for UI accents or section headers when you want emphasis without decorative styling.
The overall tone is energetic and contemporary, with a confident, athletic feel created by the strong weight and oblique posture. It balances friendliness from its rounded forms with an assertive presence suited to attention-grabbing settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, modern italic voice for branding and display typography—combining geometric clarity with a dynamic slant to suggest motion and confidence.
The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping text maintain a cohesive flow in longer lines. Letterforms lean toward straightforward, geometric constructions rather than calligraphic modulation, keeping the texture even and graphic.
