A compact, right-slanted sans with heavy, even strokes and softly squared curves. The letterforms lean on superelliptic geometry: bowls and counters read like rounded rectangles, with smooth joins and minimal contrast throughout. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, and the overall rhythm is tight with narrow proportions and sturdy verticals. Numerals and lowercase echo the same rounded-rectangular construction, keeping a consistent, engineered texture in text.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where a dense, energetic texture is desirable—sports and fitness branding, punchy posters, product packaging, and attention-forward signage. It can also work for UI labels or navigation elements when a compact, motion-oriented voice is needed.
The tone is fast and forward-leaning, pairing modern geometric discipline with a confident, high-impact presence. It feels sporty and utilitarian rather than delicate, projecting momentum and clarity.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact sans that reads quickly and feels in motion, using superelliptic rounding to stay friendly while retaining a compact, engineered structure.
Round forms like O/Q and C/G emphasize squarish curvature, giving the type a distinctive “soft box” silhouette. The italic slant is strong enough to signal motion, while the consistent stroke weight keeps paragraphs dark and cohesive at display sizes.
