A slanted sans with rounded, geometric bowls and a compact, forward-leaning silhouette. Strokes appear sturdy and even, with smooth curves in C/O/Q and broad, arcing terminals that keep counters open. The uppercase shows simplified construction with crisp joins and wedge-like diagonals in letters such as A, K, V, W, and Y, while the lowercase stays compact with single-storey forms and short extenders that reinforce a tight vertical rhythm. Numerals follow the same rounded, contemporary logic, with clear, simple shapes suited to display settings.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of copy where the slant and sturdy shapes can carry emphasis. It works well for brand marks, posters, sports-themed graphics, and promotional layouts that benefit from a dynamic, contemporary voice. The clear numerals and open counters also support attention-grabbing price points, dates, and score-style figures in display contexts.
The overall tone feels energetic and assertive, with a fast, sporty slant and a clean, contemporary finish. Its rounded geometry softens the impact, balancing strength with approachability for modern branding and promotional typography.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, energetic italic voice with geometric roundness and strong presence, prioritizing impact and clarity in display typography while maintaining a clean, no-frills construction.
Spacing and shapes read cleanly at large sizes, and the italic angle is consistent across letters and figures, creating a coherent left-to-right motion. The design favors straightforward, minimal detailing over calligraphic modulation, keeping the texture even and uncluttered.
