This typeface is a heavy, right-slanted sans with smooth, rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction in the bowls and counters. Strokes are consistently thick with little visible modulation, and terminals tend to be clean and blunt, producing solid, compact letterforms. Rounds like C, O, and G feel slightly squarish with softened corners, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) are sturdy and stable. Spacing appears fairly tight and the overall rhythm is dense, with smaller apertures in letters like e and s contributing to a punchy texture.
It performs best in short to medium lines where impact and motion matter—headlines, posters, sports or streetwear branding, packaging callouts, and bold UI/feature labels. The dense texture and tight apertures make it more suitable for display sizes than long-form reading.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a forward-leaning motion that reads as fast and purposeful. Its chunky shapes and softened corners give it a sporty, engineered feel—confident rather than delicate—suggesting modern signage and performance branding with a hint of retro display flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, contemporary sans voice with a built-in sense of speed. By combining heavy strokes with superelliptical rounding and a pronounced slant, it aims for high-impact legibility and a distinctive, engineered silhouette in prominent applications.
Uppercase forms are strong and compact, while the lowercase maintains a robust silhouette with simple, utilitarian detailing (notably the single-storey a and g). Numerals match the same rounded-rectangular logic and weight, keeping the set visually unified for headline use.
