A slanted sans with heavy, low-contrast strokes and a distinctly geometric, superellipse-based construction. Counters and bowls read as rounded rectangles rather than perfect circles, producing a firm, engineered look. Terminals are clean and mostly squared-off with softened corners, and curves transition into straighter segments with minimal modulation. Spacing feels compact and forward-leaning, with sturdy, blocky forms that hold together well at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short-form messaging where the strong weight and slant can do the work of grabbing attention. It also fits sports and performance branding, punchy packaging, and bold signage, especially when set with ample tracking or generous line spacing.
The overall tone is assertive and fast, with a sporty momentum created by the consistent slant and dense black presence. Its rounded-rectangle geometry keeps the voice contemporary and technical rather than friendly or handwritten, giving it a confident, performance-oriented character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, modern geometry—pairing a forceful stroke weight with rounded-rectangular forms and a consistent forward slant to suggest speed and confidence.
Round letters (like O and 0) appear more squarish than circular, reinforcing the superelliptical theme across the set. Diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) are thick and decisive, and the numerals share the same compact, forward-leaning stance for a cohesive typographic color.
