A rounded, oblique sans with heavy, even strokes and smoothly squared curves that feel built from softened rectangles. Forms are compact and sturdy, with small apertures and consistently rounded terminals throughout. Curves stay tight and controlled, giving letters a slightly condensed, engineered rhythm despite the slant. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g”, a short-shouldered “r”, and overall simplified construction aimed at clarity and punch at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand moments where a rounded, energetic voice is useful. It also fits sports and lifestyle graphics, signage, and social media layouts where quick recognition matters more than long-form reading. Short paragraphs can work when set with generous tracking and leading.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a sporty, retro-tech flavor. The combination of strong weight, rounded geometry, and forward slant reads energetic and informal rather than corporate. It feels designed to be noticed quickly and to keep text feeling friendly even at high contrast in layout.
The design appears intended to blend a geometric, rounded construction with an assertive, forward-leaning stance for a dynamic display presence. Its simplified shapes and consistent rounding suggest an emphasis on strong silhouettes and friendly impact rather than delicate detail.
Diagonal joins and angled strokes (notably in K, V, W, X, and the numerals) reinforce a sense of motion. Counters are relatively small for the weight, which helps maintain a solid silhouette but can make dense text feel dark at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangular logic, creating a cohesive set for headlines and graphic typography.
