A compact, slanted sans with thick, even strokes and softly rounded corners throughout. Forms are built from squared-off curves and superellipse-like bowls, giving counters a squarish roundness rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and blunt, joins are sturdy, and curves transition smoothly with minimal modulation. Proportions are tight with a tall, compressed rhythm that stays crisp in both uppercase and lowercase, and the numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic for a cohesive texture.
Best suited to display settings where impact and momentum matter: headlines, posters, and prominent UI or marketing callouts. The compact width and heavy strokes also make it a strong choice for logos, sports/athletic branding, packaging, and short emphatic statements where a bold typographic voice is needed.
The overall tone feels assertive and kinetic, with the forward slant adding motion and urgency. Its rounded geometry keeps it friendly and contemporary while the heavy, compact build reads confident and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to combine speed and solidity: a forward-leaning, compact structure paired with rounded-rectangular curves for a modern, approachable strength. It prioritizes high visual density and clear geometric consistency to deliver punchy, contemporary display typography.
Uppercase characters maintain a controlled, engineered feel with consistent corner rounding, while lowercase shows the same geometry in smaller, efficient shapes. Diagonals and curved strokes stay robust, and the dense spacing and condensed silhouettes create a strong, graphic color in text.
