A heavy, slanted sans with a compact footprint and rounded-rectangle construction that keeps curves smooth and corners softly squared. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and a strong, uniform color. Curved letters like C, G, O, and S feel superelliptical rather than purely circular, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) stay crisp and tightly spaced in their interior openings. The overall rhythm is forward-leaning and sturdy, with short-looking ascenders/descenders and robust numerals that match the letter weight and stance.
Best suited to large-scale applications where strong presence matters: headlines, posters, apparel graphics, bold brand marks, and packaging callouts. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation when set with generous spacing and at sizes large enough to keep counters clear.
The font projects speed and impact—confident, athletic, and headline-driven. Its rounded geometry softens the aggression of the weight, keeping the tone contemporary and approachable while still feeling forceful and attention-grabbing.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a streamlined, geometric feel—combining a powerful italic stance with rounded, superelliptical forms for a modern, sporty voice that stays friendly rather than sharp.
The slant is pronounced and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving lines of text a continuous forward motion. Lowercase shapes read as simplified and sturdy, with compact bowls and counters that favor bold presence over delicacy.
