A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle construction that gives counters and curves a squarish, superelliptical feel. Strokes are broadly even with minimal contrast, and terminals are clean and blunt, producing a dense, high-impact texture. Forms lean forward consistently, with generous corner rounding on letters like C, G, O, and S, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) stay crisp and stable. Numerals are bold and blocky, with the 0 reading as a rounded rectangle and the 1–7 showing simplified, utilitarian shapes.
Best suited to display sizes where its dense weight, forward slant, and squarish round forms can deliver emphasis. It works well for sports and fitness branding, product packaging, event posters, bold UI callouts, and punchy editorial headings. In longer text it will read more as a strong stylistic voice than a neutral workhorse.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, combining a technical, contemporary construction with a sporty, action-forward slant. The rounded corners soften the mass just enough to feel approachable rather than harsh, while still projecting strength and urgency. It reads as designed for impact—loud, direct, and modern.
This design appears intended to merge the speed and dynamism of an italic with a sturdy, rounded-rectangular geometry, creating a modern display sans that stays legible while feeling aggressive and energetic. The consistent oblique construction and simplified, heavy shapes suggest a focus on branding and headline impact over delicate detail.
The oblique angle and tight apertures create a forward rhythm that works especially well in short strings. Rounded corners and squared bowls give it a distinctive, engineered look compared with purely geometric round sans italics.
