A slanted sans with a geometric, superelliptical construction: bowls and counters feel rounded-rectangular rather than purely circular, and corners are softened without becoming fully rounded. Strokes are fairly even with modest modulation, producing crisp joins and clean, compact shapes. The italics are clearly drawn (not just mechanically obliqued), with steady forward momentum and slightly tightened apertures. Lowercase forms stay tidy and economical, with a single-storey a and g, a compact e, and an overall rhythm that reads smooth and controlled in text.
Well-suited to brand systems that want a modern, energetic voice—especially in technology, mobility, and sports-oriented contexts. It should work effectively for headings, subheads, and short-to-medium text where a clean, italic emphasis is desirable, and it also looks comfortable in interface labels and data-adjacent typography that mixes letters and numbers.
The tone is brisk and contemporary, suggesting speed and precision. Its slant and squared-round geometry give it a confident, engineered feel that can read sporty or tech-forward without becoming flashy.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic sans that feels engineered and streamlined, using superelliptical curves to balance friendliness with precision. It prioritizes a consistent forward rhythm and compact, practical forms for contemporary display and UI-oriented applications.
Capitals lean toward squared curves and flattened arcs, keeping a disciplined, slightly condensed impression even when letterforms open up. Numerals match the same rounded-rectangular logic and maintain consistent weight and slant, supporting a cohesive typographic color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
