A heavy, oblique sans with compact uppercase proportions and rounded-rectangle construction in the bowls and counters. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal contrast, producing dense, dark letterforms and a steady rhythm. Curves tend to square off into softened corners, giving round letters a superelliptic feel rather than purely circular shapes. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, and the italics lean is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with relatively tight apertures that keep counters compact.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and prominent UI or wayfinding moments where a strong slanted sans can carry emphasis. It works well for sports and performance branding, product packaging, and bold promotional layouts that benefit from compact caps and a dark, impactful texture. For longer reading, it will be most comfortable when given generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, with a slanted posture that suggests motion and urgency. Its squared-off curves add an industrial, engineered character, while the soft rounding keeps it approachable rather than harsh. The result feels contemporary and energetic, leaning toward athletic and action-oriented messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact, motion-forward typography with an engineered, contemporary edge. By combining an oblique stance with superelliptic rounding and sturdy, low-contrast strokes, it aims to stay bold and legible while projecting speed and confidence.
The uppercase reads especially compact and blocky, making it effective for short bursts of text, while the lowercase maintains sturdy, simplified forms that stay cohesive at display sizes. Numerals match the same oblique stance and dense color, supporting a unified typographic voice in headings and data-forward callouts.
