A heavy, rounded sans with an oblique slant and smooth, monoline strokes. The forms lean on broad circular and oval geometry, with soft corners and generous internal apertures that keep counters open even at bold sizes. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are cut with crisp angles that add snap to the otherwise rounded construction. Proportions feel compact and sturdy, with clear differentiation in figures and a consistent, even rhythm across the alphabet.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold display typography where a dynamic, forward-leaning voice is desired. Its rounded, geometric shapes also work well for branding and packaging that aims for a friendly, modern look, and for short advertising copy where impact and clarity matter.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, combining athletic forward motion from the slant with friendly rounded shapes. It reads as contemporary and confident, with a strong headline presence that feels energetic rather than severe.
The design appears intended as a contemporary display sans that balances strong weight with approachable rounding, using an oblique posture to convey speed and emphasis. It prioritizes high visibility and a clean, geometric personality for prominent, attention-getting typography.
In text, the slanted stance creates a continuous rightward momentum and a lively texture. Round characters like C, G, O, Q and numerals such as 6, 8, 9 reinforce the geometric, circular skeleton, while squared joins and angled cuts add structure and keep the design from feeling overly soft.
