A heavy, extended sans with an oblique slant and consistently rounded terminals. Letterforms are built from softened, superellipse-like geometry: squarish counters in C/G/O/Q and rounded-rectangle bowls in B/D/P/R, paired with sturdy horizontal strokes and minimal contrast. Curves stay smooth and taut, while joins are broad and stable, giving the design a compact, blocky rhythm despite the wide set. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangular logic, with a bold, streamlined 0 and an angular, forward-leaning 7 that reinforces the italic motion.
This font is best for large, high-impact applications such as headlines, posters, product branding, and packaging where its bold mass and rounded geometry can read clearly. It also fits sports and tech marketing systems that benefit from a fast, modern, forward-leaning voice.
The overall tone feels fast and assertive, with a contemporary, engineered polish. The rounded corners keep it approachable, while the slanted, wide stance reads energetic and performance-oriented—well suited to sporty or tech-forward branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sleek, rounded-rectangular construction and an energetic slant. It prioritizes a strong, modern silhouette and brand presence over delicate detail, aiming for a cohesive, performance-driven look across letters and numerals.
Apertures are relatively tight (notably in S and e), and the wide proportions plus strong weight create a dense color on the page. The italic angle is steady across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a consistent forward momentum in text settings.
