A compact, oblique sans with heavy, monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle construction in bowls and counters. Curves are smooth and blunt-ended, with squared-off joins softened by generous rounding, producing a superelliptical feel in letters like O/C and in the numerals. Proportions are tight and vertically efficient, with short extenders and a steady, slightly compressed rhythm that keeps words dense and emphatic. The italics slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the apertures remain fairly open for a bold style.
Best suited to headlines and short display text where punch and immediacy matter—such as sports branding, promotional posters, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It can also work for UI labels or dashboards when a strong, condensed emphasis is desired, though its density and slant make it less ideal for long-form reading.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-leaning, suggesting speed and momentum. Its chunky, rounded geometry reads confident and contemporary, with a practical, no-nonsense voice that still feels friendly due to the softened corners.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while keeping shapes smooth and approachable. By combining a consistent oblique angle with rounded-rectangle forms, it aims for a fast, modern look that stays robust across letters and numbers.
Caps are tall and commanding with simplified, sturdy shapes; lowercase maintains clear differentiation with single-storey forms and compact spacing. Numerals are similarly blocky and rounded, designed to hold up at display sizes and in short bursts of information.
