A heavy, oblique sans with superelliptic construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and counters, and straight strokes have softened corners rather than sharp joins. Proportions are compact with sturdy verticals and broad, stable shapes; the italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, with minimal modulation, producing a crisp silhouette and tight internal spacing that reads dense and muscular. The lowercase shows a straightforward, contemporary structure (single-storey a and g), while numerals are wide, blocky, and highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where an energetic, forward-leaning voice is desired. Its dense, sturdy forms work well for sports branding, event graphics, packaging callouts, and short-to-medium signage lines where impact matters more than delicate detail.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, combining a sporty slant with rounded, friendly geometry. It feels contemporary and no-nonsense, projecting momentum and strength without becoming aggressive or sharp.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, high-impact italic sans that remains clean and approachable through rounded-superellipse geometry. The goal appears to be strong display presence with a controlled, engineered feel and quick readability in bold statements.
The superelliptic curves give rounded letters like C, O, and S a squared-off smoothness, which keeps large text looking controlled and engineered. The consistent oblique rhythm helps long lines feel fast and forward-moving, especially in bold headlines.
