A heavy, oblique sans with extended proportions and a compact, forward-driven stance. Letterforms are built from chunky, superellipse-like shapes with rounded outer corners and squared-off counters, producing a crisp, machined silhouette. Strokes remain broadly uniform, with frequent angled terminals and wedge-like cuts that reinforce speed and directionality. Spacing and widths vary by character, creating a lively rhythm while keeping a consistent, dense color in text and display settings.
Best suited to high-impact display work such as sports identities, esports or racing graphics, punchy headlines, and poster typography. The dense weight and oblique momentum also work well for short UI labels, product marks, and apparel graphics where bold, kinetic presence matters more than long-form readability.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and modern—suggesting motion, competition, and high-impact branding. Its slanted geometry and blocky curves read as assertive and contemporary, with a subtly sci‑fi/industrial edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a streamlined, speed-oriented voice. By combining rounded-rectangle geometry with sharp angled cuts and an oblique stance, it aims to feel modern, competitive, and immediately legible at large sizes.
Uppercase forms are especially compact and muscular, while the lowercase keeps the same squared, rounded-rectangle logic for counters and joins. Numerals follow the same angular, forward-leaning construction, supporting cohesive use in scores, stats, or technical callouts.
