An oblique, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes stay essentially monolinear, producing a steady, dark texture, while broad proportions and open counters keep forms readable at display sizes. Curves lean toward superelliptical geometry—especially in O/C/G and the bowls of b/p/q—paired with flat, brisk terminals and a forward slant that increases momentum. Uppercase is wide and sturdy; lowercase is comparatively compact with small extenders and single-story a and g, giving lines a low, planted profile. Numerals are large and rounded, with similarly softened joins and a consistent, smooth stroke rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where its forward motion and heavy color can carry impact. It works well for branding and product marks that want a fast, modern-retro voice, as well as posters, sports or activity-themed identities, and packaging that benefits from bold, rounded geometry.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, streamlined feel that nods to late-20th-century display and signage aesthetics. Rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive, while the strong slant and weight communicate speed, confidence, and motion.
The design appears intended to merge geometric, rounded construction with a built-in sense of speed, creating a display sans that feels both engineered and approachable. It prioritizes strong silhouette, smooth repetition, and immediate legibility in prominent sizes.
The italic slant is integral to the design rather than a simple mechanical shear, with diagonals and joins shaped to maintain even color. Curved letters show slightly squared-off rounding, reinforcing a techno-leaning, engineered character while preserving friendly softness.
