A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into broad superelliptical corners rather than perfect circles, giving counters and bowls a squared-off roundness. Strokes are monolinear with tight apertures and sturdy joins; terminals are clean and blunt, with rounded outer corners that keep the texture smooth. Overall spacing and rhythm read dense and energetic, optimized for punchy, high-contrast settings.
Best suited to short to medium-length display text where impact matters—headlines, posters, event graphics, and athletic or automotive-style branding. It can also work for bold UI labels or product packaging where a compact, energetic voice is desired, though extended reading text may feel dense at smaller sizes.
The slanted stance and blocky rounded forms project speed and confidence, with a utilitarian, performance-oriented feel. Its tone is contemporary and no-nonsense, leaning toward athletic and tech-forward branding rather than delicate or literary uses.
The design appears intended to combine high weight with softened geometry—keeping the authority of a blocky sans while using rounded superelliptical corners to feel contemporary and approachable. The consistent oblique construction suggests a focus on motion and emphasis for attention-grabbing typography.
Uppercase and numerals present as especially compact and robust, while the lowercase maintains a similarly solid silhouette with simple, workmanlike details. The italic angle is consistent across the set, producing a strong forward motion and a cohesive headline texture.
