A compact, right-slanted sans with heavy, uniform strokes and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into superelliptical corners rather than true circles, giving counters and bowls a squared-off roundness. Terminals are clean and often diagonally cut, and the overall rhythm is tight with short extenders and roomy, simplified counters that hold up at large sizes. Numerals and capitals follow the same engineered, rounded-block logic, keeping widths consistent and silhouettes punchy.
Best suited to display work where strong silhouettes matter—headlines, poster titles, sports and fitness branding, and short-impact messaging. It can also work for bold wayfinding or product labels when a compact, motion-driven look is desired.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests motion and competition. Its rounded geometry keeps the impact friendly rather than aggressive, while the squared curves add a sleek, contemporary edge reminiscent of racing graphics and performance branding.
Designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a smooth, rounded-technical voice. The slant and clipped terminals appear intended to amplify speed and directionality, making it a natural fit for energetic, performance-oriented design.
The alphabet shows a consistent use of softened corners and clipped joins, producing a cohesive, industrial feel. Spacing in the samples reads dense and energetic, favoring bold headline settings over delicate typographic texture.
