A compact, oblique sans with heavy, low-contrast strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves. The forms are tightly proportioned with short extenders, a relatively large x-height, and blunt terminals that read cleanly at display sizes. Counters are compact and mostly closed, while joins and curves stay smooth and consistent, giving the overall texture a dense, uniform rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy, forward-leaning stance, with simple, blocky construction and minimal detailing.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where compact width and strong presence are desirable. It works well in sports-leaning identities, packaging callouts, and bold signage where the oblique emphasis adds momentum. For longer text, it will be most effective in short bursts such as subheads, labels, and promotional lines.
The font projects a fast, assertive tone—confident and energetic with a utilitarian edge. Its slanted posture and condensed build evoke motion and urgency, while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining a forward-leaning stance with rounded, robust shapes for a modern, energetic display voice.
The lettershapes emphasize stability and impact over openness, producing a dark, poster-friendly color. Rounded corners and superelliptical bowls help maintain consistency across curved characters, and the overall spacing feels designed for tight, high-impact settings.
