A slanted, geometric sans with sturdy strokes and rounded, circular bowls. Curves are smooth and even, while terminals are cleanly cut, producing a crisp silhouette at display sizes. Proportions feel balanced with a moderately open aperture in letters like C and S, and a straightforward, utilitarian construction across the alphabet. Numerals are clear and robust, with rounded forms (0, 8, 9) matching the letterfit and a simple, legible 1 and 7.
This font is well suited to headlines, branding marks, and promotional layouts where a modern, kinetic tone is desired. It also performs well for short editorial callouts and packaging copy that benefits from a clean, rounded sans presence and strong emphasis.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-leaning, combining a contemporary, technical cleanliness with a friendly roundness. The oblique stance adds motion and urgency, giving it a sporty, headline-ready character without feeling aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, geometric sans voice with added momentum from an oblique posture, prioritizing clarity and impact in display-oriented typography while keeping forms approachable and consistent.
Round letters (O, Q) read as near-circular and consistent, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are decisive and give the face a strong rhythm in uppercase settings. In text, spacing appears even and stable, supporting compact, punchy lines.
