A compact, heavy sans with an oblique slant and a tightly condensed stance. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry with softened corners, producing squared counters and smooth terminals rather than sharp cuts. Strokes stay robust and even, with simplified joins and a steady rhythm that favors bold silhouette and compact spacing over delicate detail. The numerals and capitals read as sturdy, block-like shapes, while the lowercase maintains a pragmatic, utilitarian structure with minimal modulation.
Best suited for bold display work such as headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, and high-impact signage. Its compressed width and strong black shapes help fit longer titles into tight spaces, while the rounded corners keep the texture friendly enough for packaging and prominent UI headers.
The overall tone is assertive and athletic, combining speed cues from the slant with a solid, no-nonsense mass. Rounded corners add approachability, but the compressed proportions keep it disciplined and performance-oriented. It feels contemporary and industrial, suited to messaging that needs to land quickly and loudly.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, pairing a forward-leaning stance with rounded-rectangle construction for a modern, athletic voice. The focus is on fast recognition and strong word shapes rather than typographic nuance.
The squared bowls and counters create a distinctive, superellipse-like texture in words, especially in rounded letters and numerals. The oblique angle is consistent across the set, helping headlines feel forward-leaning and active. At larger sizes the rounded-rectangle construction becomes a defining visual signature.
