A rounded, geometric sans with a pronounced oblique stance and smooth, monoline strokes. Curves are built from broad ovals and softened joins, giving counters a compact, slightly squarish feel in letters like o, e, and a. Terminals are clean and blunt, with consistent rounding that keeps forms cohesive in both uppercase and lowercase. The lowercase has a strong, modern rhythm—single-storey a and g, a compact r, and a wide, double-arched m—while numerals follow the same rounded, engineered logic for a uniform texture in text.
Well-suited to branding and display work where a fast, modern voice is needed—sports identities, automotive or tech-adjacent graphics, product packaging, and promotional headlines. It can also work for short UI labels or captions when a friendly, dynamic emphasis is desired, though its stylized oblique forms are most impactful at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and contemporary, combining a streamlined, technical feel with approachable roundness. Its forward-leaning posture suggests speed and motion, while the softened geometry keeps it from feeling harsh or industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, motion-forward sans with a rounded, geometric construction that stays legible while projecting speed and modernity. It prioritizes strong word shapes and a distinctive, contemporary silhouette over neutral text invisibility.
Uppercase forms lean toward simplified, sign-like construction with generous interior rounding and minimal detail, which helps maintain clarity at display sizes. The design’s rounded shoulders and tight apertures create a distinctive silhouette in words, especially in mixed-case settings.
