A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, superelliptic construction and broadly uniform stroke thickness. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes rather than circles, giving counters and bowls a squared-off softness. Terminals are clean and blunt with generous corner radii, and the overall fit feels compact and sturdy, producing dense word shapes. Numerals and capitals read as engineered and consistent, with smooth joins and minimal modulation that keeps forms bold and punchy at display sizes.
Works best for bold headlines, sports and lifestyle branding, posters, and packaging where strong presence and motion are desired. It can also suit UI or product marks when used at larger sizes with comfortable tracking to preserve interior space. For long text or small labels, its dense strokes and tight counters are likely to feel heavy, making it more effective as a display face than a body-text workhorse.
The tone is energetic and forward-leaning, with a sporty, performance-oriented feel. Rounded corners soften the mass and keep it approachable, while the strong slant and dense silhouettes project speed and confidence. Overall it suggests contemporary branding, tech products, and athletic styling rather than editorial refinement.
The design appears aimed at delivering a fast, contemporary display voice built from rounded-rectangle forms—combining firmness and friendliness. The strong oblique posture and compact, heavy silhouettes suggest an emphasis on impact, immediacy, and brand recognition in modern contexts.
The superelliptic geometry creates a distinctive rhythm: rounded corners paired with squarish counters and a slightly compressed, muscular stance. The oblique angle is pronounced enough to read as intentional motion, and the heavy weight can close interior space in smaller settings, favoring clear spacing and larger sizes.
