A heavy, oblique sans with superelliptic construction: forms are built from rounded-rectangle masses with softened corners and minimal curvature transitions. Strokes are consistently thick and uniform, with tight internal counters and small apertures that read as cut-in notches or slots. The overall geometry leans forward with a strong slant, producing a fast, directional rhythm; diagonals and joins are blunt and engineered rather than calligraphic. Spacing is compact and the dense ink coverage creates a solid, poster-like texture in both caps and lowercase.
Best used for short, prominent typography such as headlines, title cards, sports and esports branding, packaging callouts, and punchy campaign graphics. It can also work for display-focused UI elements (menus, scoreboards, labels) where a compact, high-impact voice is desirable and sizes remain comfortably above small text.
The design conveys speed and impact, combining a streamlined, motorsport feel with a slightly sci‑fi, industrial edge. Its forward-leaning stance and chunky silhouettes make it feel assertive and competitive, suited to high-energy messaging where immediacy matters more than subtlety.
The font appears designed to maximize visual momentum and solidity through rounded-rectangular forms, tight counters, and a pronounced oblique angle. The intention is a contemporary display sans that reads as fast, tough, and technical while keeping edges softened for a polished, modern finish.
The numerals and many letters use squared interiors and small rectangular counters that reinforce a stencil-like, machined impression without becoming truly broken. In longer text the strong slant and tight counters create a continuous, dark typographic color, so clarity improves when set with generous tracking and at larger sizes.
