A heavy oblique sans with broad, compact letterforms and strongly rounded corners that push many shapes toward squared-off bowls and counters. Strokes are thick and even with modest contrast, and terminals tend to be blunt, producing a dense, high-impact texture. Curves are tightened into superellipse-like geometry (notably in C, O, Q, and numerals), while diagonals in A, V, W, X, Y and the k create a forward-driving rhythm. Spacing appears purposeful and sturdy, with large, simplified counters that keep forms readable despite the weight.
Best suited to large-scale typography where impact matters: headlines, event and sports graphics, bold editorial openers, packaging, and prominent UI/header treatments. Its rounded-but-blocky construction also works well for logos and short wordmarks that need to feel strong yet approachable.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, balancing toughness with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. It reads as contemporary and performance-oriented, with a confident, no-nonsense voice suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in an oblique, contemporary voice while keeping forms clean and geometric. By combining wide, squared-rounded shapes with simplified construction, it aims to stay legible in bold settings and maintain a cohesive, modern brand feel.
The uppercase set feels especially compact and muscular, while the lowercase maintains strong utilitarian shapes with clear, straightforward construction. Numerals follow the same squared-rounded logic, giving digits a cohesive, engineered look in headlines and UI callouts.
