A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and compact counters. Curves are built from smooth, squarish superellipse forms, giving round letters a flattened, rectangular feel and keeping corners consistently softened. Strokes stay largely monolinear with subtle modulation from the slant, and terminals tend to be blunt and clean rather than tapered. The rhythm is wide and steady, with sturdy joins and simplified shapes that prioritize mass and clarity at display sizes.
This face is best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where impact and momentum matter. It works well for sports and automotive-style identities, apparel graphics, and packaging that benefits from a bold, modern, rounded-technical look. Use at medium-to-large sizes to let the compact counters and broad forms stay open and legible.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, combining a sporty italic lean with approachable rounded geometry. It reads as contemporary and performance-oriented—confident without feeling sharp or aggressive. The wide stance and dense blackness create an attention-grabbing, headline-forward presence.
The design appears intended to blend the speed cue of an italic sans with the friendliness and stability of rounded superellipse forms. Its wide set and dense weight aim for immediate visibility and strong silhouette recognition, making it well adapted to logos, wordmarks, and punchy editorial display.
The figures and uppercase show a strong, stable footprint, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian construction. Wide apertures and rounded-rectangle counters help preserve recognition despite the bold weight and slant. The design’s consistency in corner rounding and curve squareness gives it a distinctly engineered, logo-friendly voice.
