A compact, slanted sans with rounded, geometric bowls and a steady, low-contrast stroke. The italics are built into the forms rather than applied as a simple shear, giving letters a slightly sculpted, dynamic silhouette. Counters are fairly open for the width, terminals tend to be clean and softly finished, and curves stay smooth and controlled. Spacing feels tight and efficient, supporting a dense rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks that benefit from a strong, forward-leaning voice. Its compact footprint and smooth geometry also make it a good fit for packaging callouts, event graphics, and signage where space is limited but impact is needed.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, modern cadence created by the consistent forward slant and compact proportions. It reads as practical and contemporary rather than delicate or ornamental, making it feel active and upbeat in short bursts of text.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern sans with built-in momentum: compact proportions, rounded geometry, and a confident slant for emphasis. It aims to stay clean and readable while projecting speed and punch in display and short-text settings.
Round letters like O/C and numerals such as 0/8 keep a noticeably circular construction, while diagonals and joins contribute to a strong sense of motion. The numerals appear sturdy and straightforward, matching the letterforms’ solid presence and keeping emphasis consistent in mixed text.
