A slanted, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and smooth, uniform stroke weight. The forms are compact and sturdy, with broad curves that feel “squared-off” rather than purely circular, producing a superelliptical rhythm across bowls and counters. Terminals are clean and blunt, joins are tightly controlled, and the overall texture is dense and even, keeping letterforms readable at size. Numerals and capitals match the same robust, streamlined geometry, with consistent proportions and minimal internal detailing.
Best suited to display settings where impact and motion are desired—headlines, posters, product branding, and packaging. It also fits athletic or tech-adjacent identities where a bold, streamlined slant helps convey speed and modernity, and can work for short UI labels or navigation where a strong voice is needed.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-leaning, combining a utilitarian clarity with a sporty, contemporary edge. Its rounded geometry softens the weight, while the strong slant and bold presence add urgency and momentum, lending a confident, performance-oriented feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, contemporary sans that reads quickly while projecting movement. The superelliptical rounding and uniform weight suggest an emphasis on consistency and friendliness, balanced with a decisive, energetic stance for branding and display typography.
The sample text shows a dark, cohesive color on the page, with counters that remain open enough to avoid clogging despite the weight. Curves and diagonals dominate the personality, giving words a fast, italicized cadence while staying firmly in a clean sans idiom.
