A heavy, oblique sans with compact, superellipse-like curves and squared-off rounds that read as rounded rectangles rather than pure circles. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and many terminals end bluntly, giving forms a sturdy, engineered feel. Uppercase shapes are wide-shouldered and simplified; the bowls and counters tend to be tight, and the overall rhythm is dense and punchy. Numerals follow the same blocky, rounded geometry, with an open, utilitarian construction designed to hold up at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, branding, and short bursts of copy where the dense, oblique forms can create momentum and emphasis. It works well for sports and performance-themed graphics, packaging callouts, and bold UI or app banners where a compact, forceful voice is desired.
The font conveys speed and assertiveness through its strong weight and steady slant, suggesting motion and urgency. Its rounded-rectangle geometry keeps the tone contemporary and pragmatic rather than playful, landing in a confident, sporty space suited to high-impact messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, contemporary skeleton: heavy strokes, compact counters, and rounded-rectangular curves that feel industrial and controlled. The consistent oblique stance suggests a focus on movement and urgency while maintaining a clean, sans-based structure.
The slant is consistent across cases, and the lowercase shows compact, sturdy silhouettes with short extenders and a forward-leaning posture. Round letters like O/C/G/Q appear slightly squared in their curves, reinforcing the superellipse theme and a disciplined, technical character.
