A heavy, forward-slanted sans with broad proportions and a strong, even stroke weight. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and blunt, with occasional tight joints that read like subtle ink-trap-like notches, especially where diagonals meet stems. Spacing is sturdy and open for the weight, keeping interior counters clear while maintaining a dense, impactful silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, brand marks, and promotional typography where impact and speed are priorities. It also fits sports and fitness graphics, packaging callouts, and UI/wayfinding labels that need bold, legible forms with a modern slant. For longer passages, it’s most effective in short blocks or emphasis lines rather than continuous reading.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a fast, athletic slant and a crisp, engineered feel. Its rounded-square construction adds a friendly modernity, balancing aggression with approachability. The result feels contemporary, utilitarian, and designed to project confidence at a glance.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with contemporary rounded-square letterforms and a dynamic italic stance. The consistent weight and simplified geometry suggest a focus on clarity at display sizes, with details tuned to prevent counters from clogging and to keep shapes crisp under heavy fill.
The uppercase shows stable, sign-like shapes with simplified joins, while the lowercase keeps a robust, workmanlike rhythm suitable for short text bursts. Numerals match the same rounded-square logic, producing uniform, high-visibility figures that hold up well in bold applications.
