A heavy, forward-leaning sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves. Strokes are uniform and robust, with minimal modulation and broadly rounded terminals that keep counters open despite the weight. Proportions feel expanded with a tall lowercase presence, while the slant and blocky geometry create a strong, continuous rhythm across words. Numerals share the same compact, rounded-square logic, staying sturdy and highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text such as headlines, posters, branding lockups, sports and fitness graphics, packaging callouts, and promotional messaging where impact and momentum are desired. It can also work for UI accents or section headers when a bold, modern voice is needed.
The overall tone is energetic and action-oriented, combining a technical, contemporary feel with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. It reads as confident and forceful without becoming sharp or aggressive, giving a performance-driven, headline-ready voice.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact, contemporary typography with a streamlined geometric skeleton, pairing a strong slanted stance with rounded-square curves for approachability and clarity. It prioritizes visual punch and cohesion in large sizes while keeping counters and apertures readable.
Round forms (like O/C/G/0) lean toward superelliptical shapes rather than perfect circles, and many joins are deliberately simplified into clean, geometric transitions. The set maintains a consistent slant and sturdy spacing, which helps long lines hold together as a cohesive texture.
