This typeface is a slanted, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Curves are built from superelliptical arcs, giving bowls and counters a squarish-yet-soft feel, while joins and terminals stay clean and blunt rather than tapered. Proportions lean compact with substantial letter mass and tight interior counters, and the italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. The overall rhythm is assertive and even, with crisp spacing and simplified forms that favor solidity over delicacy.
It works best for short-to-medium display settings where impact and motion matter: headlines, posters, branding marks, and bold promotional typography. Its compact, rounded geometry also suits packaging and product graphics where a modern, athletic voice is desired.
The tone is sporty and forward-leaning, projecting speed, confidence, and a contemporary, no-nonsense attitude. Rounded geometry keeps it approachable, balancing the force of the heavy strokes with a friendly, product-minded polish.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, fast, contemporary sans with softened geometry—combining an athletic italic stance with rounded-rectangular forms for a modern, approachable display voice.
Straight-sided letters and rounded corners create a distinctly “squared-off” softness, especially noticeable in bowls (like o/e) and in numerals. The figures match the text weight well and read as sturdy display numerals with consistent slant and simple silhouettes.
