A heavy, oblique sans with softened, superelliptical geometry and broadly rounded corners throughout. Strokes stay monolinear and dense, with counters that are squarish-oval and tightly proportioned, giving the face a compact, high-impact rhythm. Terminals are clean and blunt, and many joins lean toward rectangular construction rather than calligraphic modulation, reinforcing a blocky, engineered look. Numerals echo the same rounded-rectangle logic, with the slashed zero standing out as a functional, technical detail.
Best suited for short, prominent text where impact matters—headlines, event graphics, sports and esports identities, product marks, and packaging callouts. It can also work for UI labels or navigation in larger sizes where the bold, rounded construction improves quick recognition.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests speed and momentum. Its rounded squareness keeps it friendly enough for contemporary branding, while the tight counters and sturdy forms read as confident and performance-oriented.
The design appears intended to blend speed and solidity: a forward-leaning, performance-driven silhouette paired with rounded, approachable corners. The consistent superelliptical construction and the slashed zero suggest a practical, modern display face for contemporary brand systems.
The letterforms balance rounded corners with straight-sided bowls, producing a distinctive “softened machinery” feel. The spacing and interior shapes favor punch at display sizes, while the oblique angle and compact apertures can make long passages feel dense at smaller sizes.
