A heavy, right-leaning sans with rounded-rectangle construction and soft corners throughout. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, solid silhouettes and tight interior counters. Curves tend toward superellipse geometry rather than perfect circles, and terminals are broadly sheared in the direction of the slant for a streamlined, forward-tilting profile. Overall spacing feels compact and rhythmic, with sturdy, block-like letterforms that maintain clarity despite the weight.
Well suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, apparel graphics, and bold brand marks where speed and presence are priorities. It can work for prominent callouts and packaging labels, especially when set with ample tracking or used at larger sizes to preserve counter clarity.
The tone is fast and muscular, with a sporty, high-impact presence that suggests motion and urgency. Its rounded geometry keeps the weight from feeling harsh, while the pronounced slant adds a dynamic, headline-driven attitude with a retro display flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a streamlined, motion-forward silhouette. Rounded superellipse forms and a consistent, heavy stroke aim for approachable strength—balancing toughness with smooth, contemporary geometry.
Distinctive details include tightly enclosed bowls and apertures in letters like a, e, and s, plus numerals that read as chunky and sign-like at larger sizes. The uniform stroke density and softened corners create strong color on the page, making the face feel best suited to bold statements rather than delicate typographic nuance.
