A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and rounded, superelliptical curves. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal contrast, and terminals are clean and largely squared-off with softened corners. Counters are tight and the apertures tend toward closed, giving the face strong color and a dense texture in text. The uppercase is broad-shouldered and sturdy, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with simple, geometric joins and a slightly condensed feel.
Best suited for display settings where impact is the priority—headlines, brand marks, campaign graphics, and packaging. The strong slant and compact, dark texture also fit sports and tech-forward design systems, while short bursts of text (labels, callouts, UI hero lines) benefit from its clarity and punch.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-leaning, with a distinctly athletic, contemporary voice. Its weight and slant create a sense of speed and assertiveness, making it feel confident and attention-grabbing without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, modern sans voice built on rounded-rectangular geometry, combining high visual weight with a consistent, no-nonsense construction. The italic stance and compact forms suggest an emphasis on motion and immediacy for prominent typographic moments.
Round characters like O and 0 read as squarish ovals with smooth corners, reinforcing the superellipse construction. The numerals share the same robust, simplified geometry and remain highly legible at display sizes. In longer passages the dense spacing and dark color emphasize impact over delicacy.
