A slanted, heavy sans with compact proportions and smoothly rounded curves. Strokes stay even throughout, with minimal contrast and clean terminals that read as cut rather than tapered. Counters are fairly open for the weight, while joins and curves (notably in rounded letters) keep a consistent, geometric feel. The overall rhythm is tight and punchy, with sturdy uppercase forms and simplified lowercase shapes that prioritize clarity and impact.
Best suited for headlines, short slogans, and brand marks where a bold, forward-leaning voice is useful. It works well on posters, packaging, and apparel graphics that need quick readability and high visual impact. For longer text, it’s most effective in larger sizes where the tight, dense color can remain comfortable to read.
The tone is energetic and confident, leaning toward sporty and promotional rather than formal. Its slant and weight create a sense of motion and urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable. Overall it feels contemporary and direct, designed to grab attention quickly.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact sans with a sense of motion, combining geometric roundness with a firm, compact build. It aims for straightforward legibility at display sizes while projecting an energetic, sporty personality.
Numerals are robust and highly legible at display sizes, matching the same rounded, even-stroke construction as the letters. Uppercase shapes feel especially strong and blocky, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian structure that avoids decorative quirks.
