A compact, forward-leaning sans with heavy strokes and tightly packed proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry—softly radiused corners and squarish bowls—while terminals and joins often resolve into crisp, angled cuts. Counters are small and controlled, apertures are relatively closed, and the overall texture reads as a dense, high-impact block of letterforms. The rhythm is energetic and slightly mechanical, with consistent corner rounding helping keep the forms cohesive despite the hard diagonals.
Best suited to display settings where impact and speed are priorities: headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, esports or gaming interfaces, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short subheads or labels where a compact, high-energy voice is needed, but the dense counters suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The tone is fast, confident, and performance-oriented, balancing streamlined geometry with a punchy, attention-grabbing stance. It feels at home in contexts that want momentum and toughness rather than warmth or delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver a streamlined, high-performance look by combining condensed proportions, an oblique stance, and rounded-rectangle construction. The goal is a modern, technical display sans that stays cohesive through consistent corner radii while using sharp cuts to emphasize motion and aggression.
Figures follow the same rounded-rectangular logic as the letters, with sturdy shapes and clear silhouettes suited to large sizes. The slant and angled terminals create a strong sense of direction, making lines of text feel like they’re leaning into motion.
