A slanted, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are monolinear and sturdy, with broad curves that resolve into flattened terminals and squared-off joins, giving round letters a superelliptical feel rather than a perfect circle. Proportions run on the horizontal side with tight, efficient counters and a forward-leaning rhythm. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, and overall spacing reads compact and purposeful, keeping word shapes dense and punchy in text.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and branding where a strong, energetic voice is needed. It can work well for sports, automotive, tech, and product packaging, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the rounded geometry and compact counters stay clear. In longer passages it will feel dense and emphatic, making it more appropriate for display than extended reading.
The overall tone is fast and contemporary, with an athletic, engineered character. Its oblique stance and wide, rounded geometry suggest motion and confidence, reading as energetic rather than formal. The softened corners keep it approachable while still feeling performance-oriented.
The design appears intended to combine high-impact weight with a streamlined, rounded industrial geometry, delivering a sense of speed without sharp aggression. The consistent oblique angle and superelliptical curves aim for a cohesive, modern system that remains legible while projecting performance and immediacy.
Numerals match the same streamlined, rounded-rect logic, with simple, utilitarian forms that prioritize impact over delicacy. Diagonal-heavy letters (K, M, N, V, W, X, Y) emphasize the forward slant and reinforce the font’s momentum in setting.
