A heavy, forward-leaning sans with rounded-rectangle construction and smoothly squared curves. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation, giving the letters a compact, solid footprint. Apertures tend to be tightened and counters are rounded and slightly compressed, producing a dense rhythm in words. Terminals are blunt and softly radiused, and the overall geometry favors superelliptical bowls and boxy curves that stay consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for display work where a strong, fast impression is desired—headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, product packaging, and UI/app headers. It can also work for short callouts and labels where compact, high-contrast-against-background lettering is needed, but its dense counters suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a mechanical, speed-driven feel. Its rounded edges keep the boldness friendly rather than harsh, while the slant adds motion and urgency. Overall it reads as modern, performance-oriented, and purpose-built for impact.
The design appears intended to combine maximum visual weight with a streamlined, contemporary silhouette. By using rounded-square forms and an oblique stance, it aims for a balance of toughness and approachability while emphasizing speed and modernity.
In text settings the dark color and narrow openings make it feel punchy and compact, with strong word shapes at larger sizes. The rounded-square detailing is especially apparent in bowls and in numerals, reinforcing a cohesive, engineered look.
