A compact, oblique sans with heavy, even strokes and tightly controlled proportions. Curves and counters are built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) geometry, giving bowls and terminals a squared-off softness rather than purely circular forms. The fit is narrow with firm vertical rhythm, while diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y and the slanted stems throughout) add forward motion. Numerals and capitals read sturdy and compact, with generous corner rounding that keeps the dense weight from feeling harsh.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as sports and fitness identities, promotional headlines, posters, and wayfinding where condensed, slanted forms help convey speed. It can also work for UI labels and compact navigational elements when a bold, modern tone is desired.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, with a compressed silhouette and consistent slant that suggest motion and performance. Rounded corners temper the aggression, producing a contemporary, engineered feel that sits between athletic branding and utilitarian signage.
Likely designed to deliver a high-energy, space-efficient voice by combining a consistent oblique slant with superelliptic, rounded-rectangle construction. The intent reads as maximizing punch and legibility in tight widths while maintaining a contemporary, engineered smoothness.
The superelliptic construction is especially apparent in rounded letters and digit forms, which maintain a squared profile even in their curves. The lowercase is simple and workmanlike, favoring clarity and compactness over calligraphic nuance, and the punctuation shown matches the strong, blocky voice of the rest of the set.
