A slanted, monoline sans with a geometric foundation and smoothly rounded curves. Strokes are even and sturdy, with generous counters and open apertures that keep forms clear at display sizes. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, and the italics are built as an oblique (a consistent forward slant) rather than a calligraphic construction. Uppercase shapes feel broad and stable, while lowercase maintains a simple, contemporary structure with single-storey forms where expected (notably the ‘a’ and ‘g’). Numerals are straightforward and highly legible, matching the same rounded, even-weight rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, logo wordmarks, and short-to-medium text in advertising or digital layouts where a clean, modern slanted sans is desired. It can also work well for UI accents, sports or lifestyle branding, packaging callouts, and signage where quick recognition and an energetic tone matter.
The overall tone is contemporary and assertive, with a forward-leaning, kinetic feel that reads as active and upbeat. Its smooth geometry and consistent stroke weight give it a clean, utilitarian confidence, suitable for branding that wants to feel modern without becoming cold or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, geometric sans voice with built-in motion from a consistent slant, prioritizing clarity and impact. Its even stroke weight and open forms suggest an emphasis on legibility and strong presence in display and interface contexts.
Round letters like O/C/G read as close to circular, reinforcing a geometric voice, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) feel crisp and angular, adding snap. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive sense of motion and a unified typographic color in text.
