A heavy, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle curves and a dense, forward-leaning stance. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with softened terminals and smooth, simplified joins that keep counters open for the weight. Proportions feel compact in the caps and broad in the bowls, while the lowercase shows lively width differences and a tall, upright rhythm despite the slant. Numerals and round letters lean into superelliptical geometry, giving the set a cohesive, machined smoothness.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, bold editorial callouts, and brand marks where a fast, forceful tone is desired. It also fits product packaging and sports or fitness communications, and can work for brief UI labels when strong emphasis is needed.
The overall tone is bold and kinetic, combining athletic urgency with clean contemporary polish. Its slanted posture and tight, powerful shapes read as confident and action-oriented, lending a punchy, attention-grabbing voice without feeling decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through weight and slant while retaining a clean, geometric friendliness via rounded, superelliptical construction. It prioritizes momentum and visibility, creating a contemporary sans that feels engineered for display-forward communication.
The face maintains a consistent slant across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, and its rounded corners help prevent the heavy weight from feeling harsh. The lowercase includes single-storey forms (notably the “a”), reinforcing a simplified, modern texture.
