A slanted, rounded sans with broad proportions and a smooth, superelliptical construction. Strokes are consistently thick with gentle modulation, and terminals are cleanly cut while staying softly rounded rather than sharp. Counters are compact and rounded, giving letters like O, D, and P a sturdy, inflated feel; diagonals and joins (in K, V, W, X) keep a crisp, engineered rhythm. Lowercase forms are straightforward and contemporary, with single-storey shapes and a compact, rounded t; figures are similarly wide and simplified, matching the overall geometric texture.
Best suited to headlines, brand marks, and short-to-medium text in advertising where a bold, energetic presence is desirable. It can work well for packaging, sports and lifestyle identities, event posters, and wayfinding or signage that benefits from a wide, high-impact silhouette.
The overall tone is fast, contemporary, and confident, with an athletic, forward-leaning energy. Rounded geometry softens the voice, keeping it friendly and approachable while still feeling purposeful and performance-oriented.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, performance-leaning sans that combines geometric sturdiness with rounded friendliness. Its wide set and consistent, softened forms prioritize punchy recognition and a cohesive, modern texture in display use.
The extended width and oblique angle create strong horizontal momentum, while the rounded-rectangle bowls keep spacing visually even and stable. The weight and slant make the type feel most at home at display and headline sizes where its shapes and counters stay open.
