A heavy, slanted sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and smooth, blunt terminals. Curves are full and tightly enclosed, producing compact counters in letters like a, e, o, and 8, while straights stay sturdy and uninterrupted. The overall rhythm is dense and high-impact, with wide bodies, simplified joins, and a slightly compressed internal space that helps the shapes read as solid blocks at display sizes. Numerals and caps follow the same robust, rounded logic, with an especially weighty, unified silhouette across the set.
Best suited to big, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, sports or fitness identities, bold advertising headlines, packaging front panels, and event graphics. Its dense, rounded shapes and compact counters make it most effective at larger sizes or with generous spacing, where the heavy forms can breathe and stay legible.
The font conveys a loud, fast, and assertive tone—more athletic and promotional than neutral or editorial. Its forward slant and heavy massing suggest speed and intensity, giving it a sporty, headline-ready personality with a touch of retro signage energy.
Designed to deliver maximum impact through a wide, slanted stance and rounded-rectangle letterforms that feel industrial and aerodynamic. The intent appears to be a display sans that projects speed and confidence while maintaining a cohesive, geometric system across letters and numerals.
The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, and the rounded-square geometry keeps bowls and joints feeling engineered rather than calligraphic. The lowercase is notably sturdy and headline-oriented, with forms like a and g leaning toward simplified, compact constructions that prioritize impact over delicacy.
