A heavy, forward-leaning sans with compact proportions and a sturdy, blocky build. Letterforms are based on rounded-rectangle geometry: corners are softened, bowls are squarish, and curves feel controlled rather than calligraphic. Strokes are broadly even with subtle shaping at joins, and many terminals finish with crisp, angled cuts that reinforce the oblique momentum. Counters are relatively tight in places, creating a dense, high-impact texture, while diagonals (as in K, V, W, X, Y) read sharp and athletic against the rounded system.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, product packaging, and bold signage where speed and emphasis are desirable. It can also work for logos and wordmarks that need a modern, robust, slightly technical voice, but is less ideal for long-form body text due to its density and strong slant.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a punchy, competitive feel. The strong slant and dense weight suggest speed and pressure—more “headline urgency” than calm readability. The rounded-square construction keeps it contemporary and engineered, giving a sporty, industrial confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint while projecting motion through a consistent oblique angle. Its rounded-rectangle skeleton and squared bowls aim for a modern, engineered look that stays approachable through softened corners, balancing aggression with contemporary polish.
Uppercase forms are especially forceful, while lowercase maintains the same squared rounding for consistency, yielding a cohesive rhythm in mixed-case settings. Numerals match the letterforms’ compact, muscular presence and read best when given enough size and spacing so the tight counters don’t close in.
