A slanted, heavy sans with rounded, superellipse-like curves and squared-off terminals that keep the forms tight and controlled. Strokes are largely uniform with minimal modulation, producing crisp edges and a solid, even color in text. Counters are relatively closed and the joins are smooth, giving round letters a slightly squarish, engineered feel. The lowercase shows a notably tall x-height and simple, single-storey constructions, while the numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry with sturdy, stable proportions.
Best suited to display settings where impact and momentum matter—headlines, poster typography, product branding, and sports or tech-oriented identities. It also works well for short UI labels or packaging callouts where a compact, bold, slanted sans can deliver emphasis without relying on high contrast or ornament.
The overall tone feels fast, modern, and purposeful—more performance-oriented than decorative. Its slant and dense weight suggest motion and confidence, while the rounded geometry softens the voice just enough to read as contemporary and approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to blend geometric clarity with a dynamic, forward-leaning stance, using rounded-rectangle construction to keep the voice modern and cohesive. It prioritizes strong presence and consistent texture across characters for punchy, contemporary communication.
In the sample text, the heavy weight and tight apertures create a strong headline presence, with a consistent rhythm across mixed-case and numerals. The oblique angle is pronounced enough to signal speed, yet the letterforms remain structured and legible due to the clean, geometric construction.
