A compact, oblique sans with substantial stroke weight and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves are built from smooth superelliptical arcs and softened corners, giving bowls and counters a squarish-round profile rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with consistent rounding that keeps joins from feeling sharp. Overall spacing is tight and the rhythm is punchy, with sturdy verticals and simplified, highly legible silhouettes that hold together well at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, and branding where a strong, condensed voice is needed. It also fits sports and active-lifestyle identities, punchy packaging, and short UI/marketing callouts where impact and quick recognition matter more than long-form reading.
The tone reads energetic and assertive, with a sporty, forward-leaning stance. Rounded corners add approachability, balancing the heavy presence with a friendly, contemporary feel. The result is attention-grabbing without becoming harsh or overly technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-efficient italic voice with softened geometry for approachability. Its superelliptical shaping and compact proportions suggest an emphasis on modern display impact, consistent silhouette strength, and a clean, contemporary rhythm.
Uppercase forms feel broad-shouldered and stable, while lowercase maintains a clear, utilitarian structure with open counters and minimal ornamentation. Numerals are similarly robust and compact, matching the letterforms’ rounded-rect geometry for a cohesive, display-oriented texture.
