A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Strokes are thick and consistent, with smooth corners and broad, simplified curves that keep counters relatively compact. Terminals are clean and blunt, and the overall geometry favors sturdy blocks and wide set forms, producing a dense, high-impact texture in lines of text. Numerals match the letterforms with rounded, squat shapes and strong horizontal presence.
Best suited to short, high-visibility text such as headlines, posters, titles, and big typographic statements where its mass and slant can carry the message. It also fits sporty or energetic branding and packaging callouts, especially when set large with generous spacing to keep counters open.
The font reads as bold and kinetic, combining soft cornering with a tough, forward-leaning stance. Its tone feels sporty and promotional—designed to project confidence, speed, and urgency without becoming sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, contemporary feel—using superelliptical rounding to stay friendly and cohesive while maintaining a strong, promotional voice. The consistent slant and chunky proportions suggest a focus on display readability and brand presence over delicate detail.
Round letters like O/C/G show tight apertures and compact interiors, while diagonals (A/V/W/X/Y) are thick and stable, reinforcing a poster-like weight distribution. The italic angle is uniform and gives even simple forms a sense of motion, especially in all-caps settings.
