A heavy, rounded sans with a pronounced forward slant and broad, horizontally emphasized proportions. Strokes are monolinear with softened corners and superellipse-like curves, giving letters a molded, aerodynamic feel. Counters tend to be compact and apertures are moderately open, while terminals are consistently rounded, producing a smooth, continuous rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where impact and motion are desirable: headlines, posters, brand marks, product packaging, and UI moments that want a sleek, energetic accent. The strong silhouettes and rounded corners also make it effective for logos and title treatments over imagery.
The overall tone feels fast and contemporary—confident, sporty, and slightly futuristic. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable, while the slanted stance and dense black shapes add urgency and momentum.
Designed to combine high-impact display weight with soft, rounded geometry and an oblique stance, aiming for a streamlined, speed-oriented look without becoming harsh. The consistent rounding and compact counters suggest an emphasis on visual unity and recognizability in branding contexts.
The forms lean toward squarish rounds rather than perfect circles, and many characters show subtly squared shoulders and bowls. In running text it reads as a cohesive, stylized voice where the slant and rounded-rectangle construction become the defining signature.
