A heavy, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and soft cornering throughout. Strokes are monolinear with low contrast, and counters tend to be tight, giving the forms a compact, high-density look. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and superellipse-like rounds, while terminals and joins stay clean and engineered rather than calligraphic. Uppercase forms are broad and stable with large rounded interiors, and the lowercase is sturdy with a simple, functional rhythm. Numerals match the same blocky, rounded geometry for consistent color in mixed settings.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and branded typography where impact and momentum matter—such as sports and fitness identity work, posters, packaging, and bold signage. It can also work for UI labels or navigation at larger sizes where its tight counters and dense texture remain clear.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with an athletic slant and a contemporary, industrial confidence. Its squared-off rounds and dense silhouettes feel purposeful and performance-driven, reading as modern and no-nonsense rather than friendly or delicate.
The design appears intended to combine a high-impact oblique voice with a rounded-rectangular, superellipse-like skeleton, producing a fast, contemporary look that stays sturdy and highly legible in display contexts.
The oblique angle is strong enough to add motion without sacrificing the solid, headline-oriented presence. Rounded corners and rectangular counters create a distinctive “machined” softness that keeps the heavy weight from feeling harsh.
