A heavy, slanted sans with rounded-square construction and a distinctly geometric, superellipse-like skeleton. Strokes are thick and even, with softened corners and rectangular counters that keep the forms crisp rather than circular. The italic angle is built into the letterforms (not just a shear), producing forward-leaning shapes and angular joins, especially in diagonals and terminals. Spacing and rhythm feel sturdy and compact, with broad footprints and sturdy bowls that hold up well at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where mass and momentum are desirable: sports identities, event posters, product packaging, and energetic campaign graphics. It can also work for short UI labels in gaming or tech contexts when a bold, motion-forward voice is needed, but the density and slant make it less ideal for long-form reading.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and contemporary—evoking motion, impact, and performance. Its rounded corners temper the aggression, adding a slightly futuristic, engineered feel that reads as confident rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact italic display voice built from rounded-rectangular geometry—combining speed cues with substantial weight for strong shelf and screen presence.
Uppercase forms emphasize wide, squared curves (notably in C/G/O/Q) and strong horizontal cuts, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, mechanical texture with simplified apertures. Numerals are similarly blocky and forward-leaning, matching the headline-oriented personality.
