A heavy, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are broad and steady, with smooth curves that feel superelliptical rather than geometric-circular, producing compact interior counters in letters like a, e, o, and p. The overall rhythm is forward-leaning and energetic, with sturdy horizontals and slightly squared terminals that keep forms punchy and stable at display sizes. Uppercase shapes read wide and assertive, while lowercase maintains a large x-height and simple, robust joins that preserve clarity under the strong weight.
Best suited for high-impact display settings such as headlines, sports and esports identity, event posters, and bold product packaging. It also works well for short UI labels or app headers where a compact, energetic voice is desired, while longer paragraphs may feel dense due to the heavy stroke and tight counters.
The tone is fast, forceful, and contemporary, evoking athletic branding, motorsport styling, and performance-focused tech. Its rounded edges soften the aggression of the weight, giving it a friendly but commanding presence that still feels engineered and purposeful.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sleek, motion-driven silhouette, using rounded superellipse forms to keep the weight approachable and visually unified. It prioritizes bold presence and quick recognition, aiming for a contemporary, performance-oriented aesthetic.
Curves and corners are consistently rounded, creating a cohesive, molded look across letters and figures. The numerals match the alphabet’s blocky, softened geometry, and the slanted stance is strong enough to suggest motion without tipping into script-like behavior.
