A heavy, oblique sans with broadly rounded construction and clean, uninterrupted strokes. Curves are generous and geometric, with softened corners and wide bowls that keep counters open at display sizes. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating forward motion without introducing calligraphic modulation. Overall spacing feels sturdy and compact, with a strong, even rhythm driven by simple, blocky silhouettes and smooth terminals.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text where impact and momentum matter—headlines, posters, campaign graphics, and brand marks. It also fits sports and lifestyle identities, packaging callouts, and UI hero text where a strong, friendly oblique sans can add energy while staying clean.
The tone is bold and assertive with a fast, athletic feel. Its rounded geometry and steady slant read as contemporary and approachable rather than aggressive, making it feel lively and headline-ready.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary, high-impact italicized sans voice that stays smooth and readable at large sizes. The rounded geometry and consistent slant suggest an intention to balance urgency and friendliness for modern branding and promotional typography.
The lowercase shows simplified, single-storey forms where applicable and maintains a cohesive oblique angle that helps word shapes flow. Numerals appear robust and highly legible, matching the same rounded, geometric logic as the letters.
