A compact, slanted sans with heavy, uniform strokes and tightly controlled apertures. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a soft-cornered, superelliptical feel rather than pure circles. Letterforms are tall and tightly set, with squared terminals and sturdy diagonals that keep shapes crisp at display sizes. Numerals follow the same blocky, rounded-corner logic, maintaining a consistent, forceful rhythm across the set.
Best suited to bold, attention-first applications such as headlines, posters, sports graphics, product packaging, and punchy brand marks. It also works well for short bursts of text—taglines, labels, and callouts—where a condensed, energetic voice is needed.
The overall tone is fast and high-impact, combining an athletic, headline-driven energy with a utilitarian, engineered feel. Its rounded corners soften the aggression just enough to feel contemporary and approachable while still reading as emphatic and promotional.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a compact width, pairing strong, even stroke weight with rounded-rectangle curves for a modern, dynamic display voice. The consistent slant and blocky geometry suggest a focus on motion, emphasis, and clear recognition at large sizes.
Uppercase forms stay clean and geometric, while the lowercase introduces more distinctive silhouettes (notably in a, g, t, and y) that add texture in longer lines. The italic slant is prominent and steady, supporting directional emphasis and giving the type a sense of forward motion.
