A heavy, oblique sans with a compact footprint and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation and soft, blunted terminals that keep counters open despite the weight. Curves read as squarish superellipses rather than circles, giving letters like C, G, O, and S a sturdy, engineered feel. The overall rhythm is tight and forward-leaning, with short ascenders and a tall lowercase body that helps maintain clarity at display sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and brand marks where the slant can suggest speed. It also works well on packaging and apparel graphics that benefit from bold, rounded shapes and strong silhouette recognition. For longer passages, its density and oblique angle will read most comfortably at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The slanted, weighty forms project motion and impact, creating a sporty, headline-driven tone. Rounded corners temper the aggression of the black mass, adding a friendly, approachable edge. The result feels assertive and upbeat—more “action and momentum” than “formal and restrained.”
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a forward-leaning stance and rounded, superelliptical geometry. The emphasis is on bold readability, cohesive alphanumeric color, and a dynamic, athletic voice suitable for attention-first typography.
Uppercase shapes are broad and stable, while the lowercase maintains strong presence with large counters and simplified joins. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and corner treatment, giving mixed alphanumeric settings a consistent, poster-like texture.
