A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, superellipse-like curves and broadly squared counters. Strokes are robust and even, with a clear forward slant and clean, largely monoline construction. Terminals are softened rather than sharply cut, and bowls (C, O, Q, e) read as rounded rectangles, giving the face a compact, engineered feel. Spacing is moderately tight and the overall rhythm is dense and energetic, with simplified forms that stay legible at display sizes.
Best suited for short-form text where impact matters: headlines, logos, product marks, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics. It also fits sports and tech-adjacent branding systems, wayfinding accents, and social media titles where an energetic slant and compact, rounded forms help maintain clarity.
The tone is confident and motion-forward, suggesting speed and performance while staying approachable due to its rounded geometry. It feels contemporary and utilitarian, with a no-nonsense presence suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears aimed at delivering a fast, contemporary sans voice with softened geometry—combining strong presence with rounded, friendly proportions for high-visibility display typography.
The numeral set is sturdy and highly uniform, matching the letterforms’ rounded-rectangle logic; the ‘0’ is notably wide and smooth. Lowercase shapes are simplified and robust, with single-storey constructions where applicable, reinforcing the geometric, modern character.
