A slanted sans with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and a distinctly rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction. Curves are broad and controlled, corners are softened rather than sharply chamfered, and counters tend to be open and clean. The overall rhythm is forward-leaning and compact, with simplified joins and terminals that keep letterforms crisp at display sizes while maintaining smooth, uniform color in text. Numerals and capitals are wide-set and steady, reinforcing a pragmatic, engineered feel.
Best suited to branding and display contexts where speed and momentum are desirable—sports identities, athletic apparel, tech-forward packaging, posters, and punchy headlines. It can also work for short UI labels or callouts when a strong, forward-leaning emphasis is needed, though its weight and slant will be most effective at larger sizes.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a contemporary, performance-minded character. Its controlled rounding and consistent stroke weight give it a clean, modern confidence that reads as sporty and slightly technical rather than playful or decorative.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, high-impact italic sans that feels engineered and streamlined, pairing robust stroke weight with softened superelliptical rounding for a clean, contemporary signature.
The italic slant is integral to the design (not merely a mechanical skew), and the rounded geometry shows through strongly in letters like O/Q and in the overall squarish curvature of bowls and counters. The lowercase set keeps forms straightforward and utilitarian, supporting quick recognition in short bursts of copy.
