A compact, right-leaning sans with heavy strokes and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves read as squarish superellipses, with softened corners and a consistent, engineered rhythm across rounds and straights. Terminals are mostly clean and blunt, and the italic is built as a true slant rather than a cursive skeleton, keeping counters tight and proportions tall. The overall texture is dense and punchy, with strong vertical emphasis and minimal ornamentation.
Best suited for short, high-impact text where density and slant add energy—headlines, posters, and prominent UI or product labeling. It can also work for logos, sports or automotive branding, and wayfinding-style signage where a compact footprint is useful and bold forms need to hold up at distance.
The tone is fast and forward-leaning, suggesting speed, impact, and modern utility. Its rounded geometry keeps the voice friendly enough for consumer branding while the tight width and bold mass add urgency and confidence, reminiscent of athletic, motorsport, and mid-century display lettering.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, space-efficient italic display sans that feels engineered and contemporary, using superelliptical curves to balance toughness with approachability. It prioritizes momentum and visual punch while keeping letterforms clean, uniform, and highly brandable.
Uppercase forms stay compact and uniform, while the lowercase introduces slightly more distinctive silhouettes (notably in a, g, and y) without losing the geometric discipline. Numerals match the same squared-round logic and feel built for prominent display, maintaining consistent weight and a tight, energetic cadence in text.
