This typeface is a slanted sans with heavy, even strokes and broadly rounded geometry. Curves and counters lean toward superellipse-like shapes, giving letters such as C, O, and G a soft, squared-round feel rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are clean and blunt, corners are consistently eased, and curves transition smoothly with minimal modulation. Proportions feel compact in the bowls and counters, with sturdy verticals and a forward-leaning rhythm that keeps word shapes tight and cohesive.
It works best where strong, fast-moving emphasis is needed—headlines, brand marks, campaign graphics, and packaging that benefits from a punchy, contemporary voice. The slant and compact counters favor short-to-medium text sizes, making it especially effective for titles, labels, and prominent UI or signage moments rather than long-form reading.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a contemporary, performance-oriented feel. The rounded construction keeps it approachable, while the strong presence and steady slant add momentum and confidence. It reads as modern and pragmatic rather than elegant or decorative.
The design appears intended to pair a high-impact, forward-leaning stance with softened superellipse geometry for a distinctive, contemporary sans voice. Its consistent rounding and simplified, sturdy shapes suggest a focus on clarity and brandable silhouette at larger sizes.
Round letters are notably squared-off in their curvature, producing a distinct “soft-rectangle” silhouette across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same robust, simplified construction, staying visually consistent with the letterforms and maintaining clear silhouettes at display sizes.
