A slanted sans with rounded, open forms and sturdy, even stroke weight. Curves are smooth and broadly drawn, with minimal stroke modulation and clean terminals that avoid sharp calligraphic flicks. Counters are generously open, and the overall rhythm is steady, giving the alphabet a clear, modern silhouette. The numerals follow the same sturdy construction, with round shapes that read cleanly at display sizes.
Well suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where the slant and solid color can create emphasis and motion. It can work effectively in branding, packaging, and promotional materials that need a contemporary, energetic voice, and it’s especially at home in sports or action-oriented graphics.
The overall tone feels active and forward-leaning, with a confident, modern presence. Its strong, smooth forms and consistent slant suggest speed and momentum, making it feel sporty and energetic rather than formal or delicate.
The design appears intended as a modern italic companion with a strong, uncomplicated build—prioritizing clear letter shapes, smooth curves, and a consistent forward slant to deliver emphasis without ornamental complexity.
The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive flow in text. The design favors clarity and simplicity over idiosyncratic detailing, which helps it stay versatile while still conveying motion.
