A compact, heavy oblique sans with rounded, superellipse-like curves and broad, uniform strokes. Letters are tightly proportioned with short extenders and a steady rightward slant, producing a dense, forward-leaning rhythm. Counters are small and well controlled, and round forms (C, O, Q, e, o) read as softened rectangles rather than perfect circles. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with gently rounded joins that keep the weight from feeling sharp or jagged.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, logos, sports and event graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for punchy UI labels or banners when strong emphasis is needed, though its dense weight and slant make it less ideal for extended body copy.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and contemporary, with a distinctly athletic energy. Its combination of thick strokes and consistent slant gives text a sense of momentum and impact, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a compact footprint, pairing a streamlined oblique stance with rounded, geometric construction. It prioritizes immediacy and presence, aiming for a modern display voice that stays cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
The uppercase set feels especially stout and stable, while the lowercase maintains the same mass with simple, utilitarian shapes. Numerals are similarly bold and compact, designed to hold their own in headline settings and remain visually consistent alongside letters.
