A rounded, geometric sans with an oblique stance and sturdy strokes. Curves are built from smooth, near-circular bowls, paired with straight-sided verticals and gently tapered joins that keep counters open. Terminals are clean and largely unadorned, while diagonals and angled strokes (notably in V/W/X/Y and the figures) create a forward rhythm. The overall texture is solid and even, with consistent stroke weight and clear, uncomplicated letterforms that read well at display and text sizes.
Well suited to branding systems that need a modern, active voice, as well as headlines, posters, and packaging where the oblique angle can add motion. Its clear shapes and open counters also make it a practical option for signage and interface highlights when a friendly, contemporary sans is desired.
The slanted posture and rounded construction give the face a brisk, energetic feel without becoming aggressive. It comes across as contemporary and approachable—athletic in tone, yet clean enough for everyday UI and brand communication.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern geometric sans with added momentum via an oblique slant, balancing robust presence with approachable rounded forms. It prioritizes clarity and consistency, suggesting a role as a versatile, attention-getting workhorse for contemporary visual identities.
Uppercase forms feel broad and stable, while lowercase keeps a simple, single-storey feel where applicable and maintains generous apertures for clarity. Numerals are bold and straightforward, with familiar shapes that match the same rounded, geometric logic as the letters.
