A heavy, oblique sans with squared-off, superelliptical curves and firmly rounded corners. Strokes are dense and consistent, with a compact, forward-leaning rhythm and small interior counters that keep the texture dark. Many joins and terminals feel carved rather than smoothly tapered, creating notch-like cut-ins in places and adding a slightly engineered, mechanical crispness despite the rounded forms. Figures are blocky and sturdy, with simplified shapes that prioritize impact over delicacy.
Best suited to large-size typography where the heavy strokes and oblique stance can deliver maximum punch—headlines, posters, event graphics, sports and fitness branding, and bold packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when a strong, compressed texture is desired, but it’s less ideal for extended reading at small sizes due to the tight counters and dense color.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, suggesting motion, pressure, and momentum. Its blunt massing and forward slant read as assertive and competitive, with a utilitarian edge that feels more technical than friendly.
The design appears intended to combine a modern, rounded-rectangle construction with high-impact weight and a speed-driven slant, producing a compact display voice that stays sturdy and graphic. The small cut-ins and tight apertures reinforce a machined, performance-oriented character.
In text, the tight spacing and small apertures can make long passages feel compact and intense, while short headlines hold together as a bold, unified word shape. The oblique angle is pronounced enough to signal speed without turning into script-like movement.
