A compact, forward-leaning sans with heavy strokes and tightly controlled proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) geometry, producing squared-off bowls and softened corners rather than fully circular forms. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with consistent stroke thickness and minimal modulation, giving the letters a dense, solid color on the page. Counters are relatively small and apertures are fairly closed, reinforcing the punchy, space-efficient rhythm; figures follow the same sturdy, condensed construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display settings where space is tight and impact is required—headlines, posters, promotional graphics, and bold editorial callouts. It also fits sporty or industrial-leaning branding, packaging fronts, and short signage where a compact, fast visual cadence helps the message land quickly.
The overall tone is energetic and purposeful, with a distinctly athletic, headline-driven presence. The rounded-square shaping keeps it friendly and contemporary, while the strong slant and compact fit add urgency and motion.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, condensed voice with a sense of motion, using rounded-rectangle forms to stay modern and approachable while remaining strong at large sizes.
The silhouette reads especially well in all-caps, where the blocky, rounded forms create a uniform texture. In mixed case, the lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian feel with simple constructions and sturdy joins, keeping emphasis on impact and speed rather than delicacy.
