A heavy, forward-leaning sans with very broad proportions and a low-to-moderate stroke contrast. Letterforms are built from squared-off curves and rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a superelliptic feel rather than circular. Terminals are blunt and clean, with crisp joins and flattened curves that keep shapes stable at large sizes. The rhythm is wide and open, with generous interior counters (notably in O, D, P, and a/e) and a consistent, mechanical roundness across the set.
Best suited to display work where a strong, wide, slanted voice is an asset—headlines, poster typography, branding marks, and energetic campaigns. It can also perform well on packaging and apparel graphics where rounded, sturdy forms need to stay clear at distance.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, combining a sporty slant with a contemporary, engineered smoothness. Its rounded-rectangle shapes read as modern and tech-adjacent, while the weight and width add a confident, high-impact voice suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact sans that feels streamlined and athletic, using rounded-rectangle construction to balance toughness with smoothness. Its width and slant emphasize motion and confidence, aiming for immediate visibility and a contemporary edge.
Uppercase forms stay compact and sturdy, while the lowercase maintains clear, utilitarian silhouettes with single-storey a and g. Numerals are similarly wide and robust, with simplified, legible shapes intended for strong presence rather than delicate detail.
