A heavy, forward-slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation, producing a dense, high-impact texture. Counters are compact and generously rounded, and terminals often finish with subtly angled cuts that reinforce the italic momentum. The forms favor broad, cushioned bowls and sturdy joins, keeping the silhouette smooth and continuous while maintaining crisp edges in key places.
Best suited to display roles where strong presence matters: headlines, posters, athletic or streetwear branding, packaging, and short logo or wordmark applications. It can also work for emphasis in UI or editorial callouts, but the density and slant make it less ideal for long body text.
The tone is bold and kinetic, combining a sporty, action-oriented slant with approachable rounded forms. It feels contemporary and upbeat, projecting confidence without becoming harsh or industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and motion in a clean sans framework, using rounded-rect geometry to stay friendly while the italic angle adds speed and urgency.
Round characters (like O/0 and bowls in b/d/p/q) read as superelliptical rather than purely circular, giving the face a distinctive “squircle” rhythm. Numerals and capitals appear built for impact, with simplified, sturdy shapes and tight internal spacing that stays legible at display sizes.
