A heavy, oblique sans with a geometric build and corners that resolve into smooth, rounded terminals. Curves are drawn as squarish bowls (superellipse-like), giving letters such as O, Q, and G a rounded-rectangle silhouette, while straight strokes remain clean and monoline in feel. Counters are fairly tight and apertures are controlled, producing dense, punchy word shapes; the lowercase shows a single-storey a and g with sturdy, simplified construction. Figures are similarly robust and streamlined, with broad curves and minimal detailing that keep the set visually uniform.
Best suited to headlines, branding marks, and short-to-medium display text where its forward-leaning stance and dense weight can signal speed and impact. It also fits sports and tech-forward packaging, event graphics, and promotional materials that benefit from a compact, high-energy sans.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and contemporary, with an aerodynamic slant that reads as motion and urgency. The squared-round geometry adds a technical, engineered flavor, balancing friendliness from the rounding with a no-nonsense, performance-minded presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, motion-oriented sans with rounded-square anatomy for a modern, engineered look. It prioritizes strong silhouettes, consistent rhythm, and immediate impact in prominent typographic roles.
The italic angle is pronounced and consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping text lean forward as a cohesive block. The design relies on silhouette and weight for character rather than contrast or calligraphic modulation, which supports clarity at display and headline sizes.
