A heavy, forward-slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal contrast, producing dense silhouettes and strong color on the page. Curves tend to resolve into superelliptical bowls and counters, while terminals are generally blunt and clean. Proportions feel compact with wide, stable stems and sturdy diagonals, giving both uppercase and lowercase a solid, engineered rhythm. Numerals match the same robust, rounded geometry and maintain a consistent, punchy presence alongside the letters.
Best suited for short-to-medium display copy such as headlines, posters, campaign graphics, and bold brand statements. It also fits athletic, automotive, and tech-adjacent identities where speed and strength are desired, and can perform well on packaging and signage where high visual impact is important.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, combining a sporty urgency with a modern, utilitarian confidence. Its rounded geometry keeps the bold voice from feeling harsh, adding a friendly, product-driven edge while still reading as tough and emphatic.
Designed to deliver maximum punch with a streamlined, rounded construction and a pronounced slant that implies motion. The goal appears to be a modern, high-energy display sans that stays approachable through softened geometry while retaining a strong, industrial backbone.
The italic slant is substantial and works as a primary stylistic driver rather than a subtle oblique, emphasizing motion and impact. The design’s rounded counters and blunt terminals help maintain legibility at display sizes while keeping a cohesive, tightly controlled texture.
