A heavy, oblique sans with smooth, squared-round (superelliptic) curves and consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with clean terminals that read as slightly chamfered due to the slant. The proportions feel compact and efficient, with wide, rounded counters in letters like O, D, and P and stable, blocky construction in diagonals such as V, W, X, and Y. Numerals are similarly sturdy and rounded, maintaining the same geometric rhythm and forward lean.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, display copy, brand marks, sports and fitness graphics, packaging callouts, and promotional posters. It can also work for UI labels or navigation where a bold, energetic presence is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, combining a technical, contemporary geometry with a sporty, forward-leaning stance. Rounded corners keep the weight from feeling harsh, lending a friendly, approachable edge to an otherwise punchy voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, geometric sans optimized for momentum and emphasis, using a strong oblique posture and rounded superellipse forms to balance aggression with approachability.
The oblique angle is pronounced enough to create motion in headlines, while the rounded-rectangle anatomy keeps forms cohesive across caps, lowercase, and figures. The lowercase appears compact with clear, open interiors, helping maintain legibility despite the strong slant and weight.
