A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves are built from superellipse-like corners rather than pure circles, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness (notably in O, Q, and the numerals). Strokes are thick and consistent with minimal modulation, terminals are clean and blunt, and joins are sturdy, producing a compact, high-impact silhouette. Apertures tend to be tight and counters small, while diagonals and angled cuts keep the rhythm fast and forward-leaning.
Best suited to large sizes where its dense shapes and tight counters remain clear—headlines, posters, athletic or motorsport graphics, and bold brand marks. It also works well on packaging and signage where an oblique, high-impact voice is needed and space is limited.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, with a sporty, machine-made confidence. The soft-corner geometry keeps it friendly enough for consumer branding, but the dense weight and slant read as urgent and performance-oriented.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through broad, slanted forms and superellipse-based rounding, combining industrial solidity with a streamlined, contemporary feel. It prioritizes punchy word shapes and a cohesive geometric texture for display-forward typography.
Uppercase forms feel especially engineered, with squared-off interior shapes and restrained detailing, while the lowercase follows the same blocky logic for a cohesive system. Numerals are robust and headline-ready, matching the rounded-rectangle theme for consistent texture across mixed alphanumeric settings.
