This typeface is a slanted sans with sturdy, even strokes and smoothly rounded curves. Letterforms lean consistently to the right and favor broad, open counters, with a clear geometric influence in the round characters. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, while joins and curves stay softened, giving the shapes a controlled but approachable feel. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g,” a simple, compact “t,” and a wide, rounded “e,” reinforcing a streamlined, modern construction. Numerals are robust and straightforward, with the “0” reading as an oval and other figures built from uncomplicated, high-legibility shapes.
It works best for headlines, posters, and brand marks where a strong, slanted voice is useful and letterforms need to stay clear at larger sizes. The solid shapes and open counters also suit packaging, signage, and sporty or tech-leaning identities that benefit from a contemporary, energetic tone.
The overall tone feels energetic and forward-moving, with a confident, sporty cadence created by the consistent slant and firm weight. Its rounded geometry keeps it friendly rather than aggressive, making it feel modern and upbeat.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, momentum-driven sans with a geometric backbone and friendly rounding, balancing impact with legibility. Its consistent slant and simplified construction suggest a focus on bold messaging and contemporary branding rather than delicate typographic nuance.
Capitals appear wide and stable, with generous interior space in letters like C, O, and Q; the Q’s tail is short and cleanly integrated. Diacritics aren’t shown, but the dot on “i” is round and prominent, and spacing in the sample text reads as even and sturdy at display sizes.
