A slanted, geometric sans with sturdy, even strokes and rounded counters. The forms favor clean circular and elliptical construction (notably in O, C, G, 0, 8, 9), paired with crisp terminals and simplified joins. Uppercase shapes are compact and stable, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, contemporary skeleton with open apertures and clear differentiation between similar forms. Figures are smooth and consistent, with a functional, display-friendly rhythm that stays readable at larger sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, brand marks, and promotional typography where a dynamic, forward-leaning voice is desired. The clear geometry and open counters also make it a strong choice for short UI labels, wayfinding, and packaging where quick recognition matters.
The overall tone is fast, contemporary, and assertive, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests motion and urgency. Its smooth geometry keeps it polished and approachable, balancing a technical feel with a friendly roundness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, energetic italic voice built on geometric foundations, emphasizing clarity and impact while maintaining a smooth, contemporary texture in both text samples and standalone glyphs.
The oblique angle is consistent across letters and numerals, and the glyph set shown maintains a uniform texture without calligraphic modulation. Circular letters remain notably round rather than condensed, helping keep counters open and signage-like.
