A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and rounded, superellipse-like curves. Strokes are thick and even, with softened corners and broad bowls that keep counters open despite the weight. Terminals are clean and blunt, and the slant creates forward motion without introducing calligraphic contrast. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and blocky, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian structure; figures are similarly bold and tightly built for strong impact.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of text where impact matters—posters, sports or athletic branding, product packaging, and bold signage. It also works well for logos and labels that benefit from a rounded, modern strength, while longer passages will be most comfortable at larger sizes with added spacing.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a fast, “in-motion” feel driven by the oblique angle and dense weight. Its rounded geometry keeps it friendly and approachable, balancing the toughness of the heavy strokes with a smooth, contemporary finish.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a smooth, contemporary voice: a bold italic that feels fast and confident, with rounded-rectangle construction to keep the forms clean, friendly, and highly graphic.
The rhythm is tight and punchy, with a consistent curve language across letters and numbers that reinforces a cohesive, industrial-modern look. At display sizes it reads confidently; in smaller settings the dense strokes and compact spacing may require generous tracking and line spacing to stay crisp.
