A heavy, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are monoline and full, with generous internal counters and wide, open apertures that keep the dense weight readable. Curves tend to resolve into superelliptical bowls, while joins and terminals feel cut cleanly, creating a fast, engineered rhythm. Proportions favor large lowercase with compact ascenders/descenders, and the overall texture is compact but not cramped due to consistent spacing and robust counter shapes.
It performs best in display settings such as headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, slanted presence is desired. The large counters and open shapes also make it suitable for short UI labels, product packaging, and motion graphics where clarity at bold sizes matters.
The font reads as energetic and forward-leaning, combining a sporty urgency with a contemporary, tech-oriented polish. Its broad, softened forms communicate strength without harshness, giving headlines a confident, modern tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact sans that feels fast and contemporary, using rounded-rectangle geometry and a consistent oblique stance to project motion and strength while preserving legibility in short runs of text.
Round letters maintain a squarish silhouette (notably in bowls and digits), reinforcing a modular, industrial feel. The oblique angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping lines of text keep a continuous sense of motion.
