A heavy, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and blunt terminals. Counters are tight and apertures are relatively closed, giving the forms a compact, solid color on the page. Curves are smooth and geometric, while joins and diagonals stay crisp, producing a firm, engineered rhythm. Figures follow the same chunky, rounded geometry with sturdy diagonals and minimal contrast between strokes.
Best suited to big, high-impact applications such as sports identities, promotional posters, punchy headlines, and packaging where a strong typographic block is needed. It can also work for logo wordmarks and apparel graphics, while longer text will benefit from larger sizes and a bit of added spacing.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a forward-leaning stance that feels fast and competitive. Its dense shapes and tight openings convey urgency and confidence, reading as contemporary and performance-driven rather than delicate or editorial.
Designed to deliver maximum impact through a compact, geometric, rounded-rect form language and an oblique stance that implies speed. The consistent, low-contrast stroke behavior and tight apertures prioritize bold presence and brand-like solidity over quiet readability.
The oblique angle and compact internal spaces make the face most effective when given adequate size and tracking, especially in all-caps. The rounded-square skeleton keeps it friendly enough for branding, while the weight and slant push it toward bold, attention-grabbing messaging.
