A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with soft corners, squared-off curves, and slightly closed counters that create a compact, high-impact texture. Curves in C/G/O and the bowls in B/P/R lean toward superelliptical geometry, while diagonals and joins are crisp and firmly angled, giving the design a taut, engineered rhythm. Numerals are similarly weighty and wide, with simplified, blocky forms built for visibility at large sizes.
Best suited for high-impact display work such as sports identities, event posters, product packaging, and bold editorial headlines. The heavy, rounded, oblique construction maintains clarity in short phrases and large-scale signage where speed and emphasis are priorities.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a forward-leaning stance that reads fast and competitive. Rounded corners keep it friendly enough for contemporary branding, but the mass and compression push it toward bold, attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a contemporary, streamlined silhouette—combining rounded superelliptical structure with an oblique, performance-oriented posture for branding and display typography.
Letterforms show a consistent emphasis on stability and speed: wide silhouettes, short-looking apertures, and minimal internal detailing. The sample text demonstrates strong headline presence and a pronounced dark color on the page, especially in all-caps settings.
