A heavy, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Curves read as superelliptical rather than purely circular, giving bowls and counters a squared-off, engineered feel. Strokes maintain an even thickness with minimal modulation, and terminals are mostly flat or gently rounded, producing a sturdy, high-contrast silhouette against the page. Proportions are compact and slightly condensed in feel, with tight apertures and firm joins; the overall rhythm is punchy and forward-leaning, especially in the lowercase and numerals.
Best suited to display roles where weight and slant can deliver motion and emphasis—headlines, posters, and energetic branding systems. It can also work well for short UI labels, navigation, and product titling where a compact, rounded-mechanical look helps maintain clarity at a glance.
The tone is energetic and performance-minded, combining a contemporary, industrial cleanliness with a sporty italic slant. Its rounded geometry keeps it friendly, while the mass and tight counters add urgency and impact. Overall it feels confident, fast, and built for attention.
The design appears intended to fuse a contemporary geometric base with a softened, superelliptical vocabulary, creating an italicized sans that feels fast and assertive without becoming sharp or aggressive. Its consistent stroke weight and rounded-square counters suggest a focus on bold, modern readability and a cohesive, system-friendly texture.
The uppercase forms are broad and stable, while the lowercase shows a utilitarian simplicity with single-storey shapes where applicable, reinforcing a streamlined voice. Numerals are robust and highly legible, with rounded corners that match the letterforms and maintain visual consistency in UI-like contexts.
