A slanted sans with a sturdy, monolinear build and smoothly rounded curves. The drawing leans geometric, with circular counters in O/0 and a generally even stroke rhythm, while terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut rather than tapered. Proportions are compact in the lowercase, with short extenders and a relatively small x-height compared with the caps, giving lines a tight, efficient silhouette. Numerals are simple and sturdy, with clear, open shapes that match the letterforms’ rounded construction.
Well suited to branding systems, headlines, posters, and packaging where a modern, energetic italic voice is helpful. It can also work for short blocks of copy, captions, and UI labels when a compact, forward-moving emphasis is desired.
The overall tone feels brisk and contemporary, combining a friendly roundness with a forward-leaning motion. It reads as practical and upbeat rather than formal, suggesting momentum and approachability in display and short text settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a confident, motion-oriented sans that remains friendly through rounded geometry and simple construction. It balances clean legibility with a sporty, contemporary personality for attention-getting typography.
Capital forms stay clean and geometric, while the lowercase introduces more personality through compact bowls and lively oblique joins. The slant is consistent across letters and figures, supporting a cohesive, energetic texture in paragraph samples.
