A slanted sans with heavy, compact letterforms built from rounded-rectangle geometry. Strokes are broadly uniform with soft corners and fully rounded terminals, producing a smooth, continuous silhouette. Counters are moderately open but tightened by the weight, and curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) read as superelliptical rather than purely circular. The rhythm is energetic and slightly condensed in feel, with sturdy horizontals and diagonals that stay clean at display sizes.
Best suited to branding and headline work where a strong, fast-leaning presence is needed—sports and active lifestyle identity, product packaging, promotional graphics, and bold UI moments such as buttons, labels, and navigation. Its rounded geometry also makes it effective for youth-oriented or tech-adjacent visuals that want impact without sharpness.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, combining a sporty forward lean with approachable rounded shapes. It feels contemporary and performance-oriented without becoming aggressive, making it suitable for brands that want to project momentum and confidence while staying friendly.
The design appears intended to merge italic momentum with a geometric, rounded-rectangle skeleton, prioritizing visual punch and coherence across letters and figures. It emphasizes speed, solidity, and friendliness through softened corners, consistent stroke weight, and compact proportions.
Uppercase forms are broad-shouldered and simplified, while lowercase keeps a utilitarian, compact construction (single-storey a and g) that reinforces the contemporary voice. Numerals are sturdy and legible with rounded joins, matching the same softened-rectangle logic seen throughout the alphabet.
