A heavy, forward-leaning sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are monolinear and robust, with broad curves that resolve into squared counters and superelliptical bowls; joins are sturdy and the overall texture is dense and even. The uppercase is compact and slightly boxy, while the lowercase keeps a large, open presence with simple, single-storey forms and a tight, efficient rhythm. Numerals match the blocky rounding and read clearly, with consistent weight and a slightly engineered, modular feel.
Best suited to short-to-medium text at larger sizes where its compact, high-impact shapes can read cleanly—headlines, brand marks, packaging, posters, and wayfinding. It also fits sports and tech contexts where a sense of speed and solidity is desirable.
The overall tone is energetic and purposeful, combining speed-oriented slant with thick, grippy forms. Its rounded-square geometry gives it a contemporary, slightly industrial character that feels sporty and tech-forward rather than friendly or humanist.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, modern voice built on rounded-rectangular geometry, pairing strong legibility with a sense of momentum. It prioritizes punchy silhouettes and consistent rhythm for display use while keeping forms simple and systematic.
A recurring visual motif is the mix of rounded outer corners with more squared interior counters, creating a “cushioned” rectangular silhouette. The italic angle is pronounced enough to suggest motion, while the generous stroke weight keeps the color strong at distance.
