A heavy, forward-leaning sans with broad proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into squared corners and soft radii, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel (notably in O/Q/0 and the lowercase o/e). Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with minimal stroke modulation and a consistent, engineered rhythm. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a sturdy, squarish e with a compact aperture, and a short, robust t; overall spacing reads generous horizontally with tight, efficient counters that keep the texture dense at display sizes.
Best suited for large-scale typography where its dense weight, slanted stance, and rounded-square forms can read clearly—such as sports identities, event posters, impactful hero banners, product packaging, and bold UI moments. It can also work for short labels and signage where a modern, high-energy texture is desired, while extended body text may feel visually heavy.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a distinctly athletic and contemporary slant. Its rounded-square geometry adds a tech and industrial edge while staying approachable, making the voice feel confident rather than ornate. The strong silhouettes and compact inner shapes project speed, impact, and headline urgency.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, geometric voice: bold, fast, and contemporary. By combining a pronounced slant with superelliptical, rounded-square shapes, it aims to feel both athletic and tech-forward while maintaining simple, highly legible silhouettes at display sizes.
Round characters (O, 0) are drawn more like rounded rectangles, and the Q uses a simple, integrated tail that preserves the blocky silhouette. Diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) are thick and stable, contributing to a powerful, poster-like presence. Numerals are equally stout and geometric, matching the caps closely for cohesive titling.
