A slanted sans with sturdy, even stroke weight and smooth, rounded curves. Letterforms are built from simple geometric shapes with open apertures and compact, controlled counters, producing a steady texture in text. Terminals are clean and largely squared-off, while the oblique construction creates forward motion without introducing calligraphic contrast. Uppercase forms read crisp and structured; lowercase follows a simplified, contemporary pattern with single-storey shapes and rounded bowls. Numerals are clear and consistent with the same rounded, low-contrast construction.
Well-suited for branding and headline work where a modern, forward-leaning voice is desirable, such as sports, transportation, and tech communications. It also works for short UI labels and signage where sturdy shapes and clear numerals help maintain legibility, though the strong slant makes it more impactful than neutral for dense body text.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, with the slant giving it a sense of speed and momentum. It feels functional and no-nonsense rather than decorative, leaning toward a sporty, tech-adjacent personality.
The design appears intended to provide an energetic, contemporary sans with an integrated oblique stance—delivering emphasis and motion while keeping forms simple, geometric, and highly readable in display and short-text settings.
The oblique angle is pronounced enough to be expressive, yet the underlying geometry keeps spacing and rhythm stable in longer passages. The wide, rounded forms (notably in bowls and circular letters) help maintain clarity at display sizes.
