A clean sans with a pronounced oblique slant and smooth, rounded construction. Strokes are monolinear and low-contrast, with softly curved joins and terminals that often end on angled cuts, creating a forward-leaning rhythm. Proportions skew roomy with open counters and generous sidebearings, while the lowercase shows a tall x-height that keeps the texture bright and readable. The overall geometry favors ellipses and continuous curves (notably in C, O, S, and the lowercase bowls), balanced by straightforward, slightly squared-off verticals in letters like H, N, and n.
Well-suited for branding and headline typography where a sense of speed and modernity is desired, especially in tech, automotive, or sports-adjacent contexts. Its open forms and tall lowercase also make it workable for short UI labels, product naming, and signage when set with adequate spacing and size.
The slanted stance and streamlined curves give the typeface a fast, modern tone—suggesting motion, efficiency, and a lightly futuristic sensibility. It feels confident and engineered rather than expressive, with an emphasis on clarity and momentum.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary sans with an italic-driven voice: clear, rounded forms paired with forward motion and clean, engineered detailing. It prioritizes a smooth reading texture and a modern, energetic impression across both text samples and alphanumeric sets.
The numerals and capitals maintain consistent stroke weight and a coherent slanted axis, helping mixed alphanumeric strings look uniform. Round letters stay open and smooth, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) read crisp and stable, reinforcing a sporty, contemporary texture in larger settings.
