A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) geometry and strongly softened corners. Strokes are thick and confident with small, tightly enclosed counters, producing a compact, high-impact silhouette. The construction favors broad, squared-off curves over circular bowls, and many joins terminate in angled cuts that reinforce speed and direction. Lowercase forms stay sturdy and upright in structure despite the slant, with short ascenders/descenders and dense internal spaces that keep the texture dark and even.
Best suited to large-scale applications where impact and momentum are desired, such as headlines, posters, sports and fitness identities, product packaging, and bold logotypes. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when set large enough to preserve counter clarity.
The overall tone reads fast, muscular, and promotional—evoking sports branding, automotive energy, and action-oriented headlines. The rounded corners keep it friendly enough for pop and entertainment uses, while the weight and slant project urgency and motion. It carries a slightly retro display flavor through its chunky, softened geometry.
The design intention appears to be a high-energy display sans that merges chunky superellipse forms with a pronounced forward slant, prioritizing speed, strength, and immediate readability in bold messaging.
At smaller sizes the tight apertures and counters (notably in letters like a, e, s, and numerals) can fill in visually, so it benefits from generous size and spacing. Numerals match the same compact, rounded-rect language, and punctuation appears bold and attention-grabbing in running text.
