A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are uniformly thick with crisp, flattened terminals and softened corners, giving the forms a machined, superelliptical feel rather than geometric circles. Counters tend to be squarish and tight, and several joins show small notch-like cut-ins that read like ink-trap-inspired detailing. The overall rhythm is punchy and compact, with sturdy verticals, angled diagonals, and a forward-leaning stance that keeps large text visually cohesive.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, posters, and short emphatic statements where its slant and mass can communicate motion and confidence. It also fits sports branding, product packaging, and UI headers where a bold, industrial-modern voice is desired.
The tone is energetic and forceful, projecting speed and impact. Its rounded-square shapes and blunt edges suggest a contemporary, engineered attitude—more athletic and promotional than neutral or editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, modern silhouette—combining rounded-rectangle geometry with assertive weight and a forward italic posture for a sense of speed and power.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same robust, squared-round DNA, creating strong consistency across a range of shapes (especially in bowls and rounded corners). Numerals are similarly block-forward, designed to hold their presence alongside letters in headline settings.
