A slanted, contrasted sans with a lively, slightly calligraphic construction. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals that create a brisk, forward rhythm. Curves are broad and open, counters are generous, and joins tend to be smooth with occasional sharp, angled cuts that add snap. Proportions feel practical rather than condensed, while the overall texture stays even enough for continuous reading despite the energetic slant.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, and brand marks where its slanted energy and contrast can read as intentional character. It can also work for short bursts of text—taglines, packaging copy, or pull quotes—especially when you want an active, approachable voice.
The tone is fast, upbeat, and informal—more “in motion” than refined. Its angled stance and tapered endings suggest speed and confidence, giving it a sporty, poster-like personality with a subtle retro flavor.
The design appears intended to blend sans simplicity with italic, brush-like momentum, producing a distinctive yet accessible display italic. It aims for personality and speed without sacrificing clarity, keeping counters open and shapes familiar while adding expressive stroke modulation.
Uppercase forms mix rounded bowls with crisp diagonals, and the lowercase maintains clear differentiation with single-storey shapes and flowing, slightly asymmetric curves. Numerals are similarly slanted and rounded, keeping a consistent cadence with the letters and a legible, contemporary feel.
