A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and tightly controlled curves. Strokes are thick with crisp, squared terminals, while corners are softened into superellipse-like rounds, creating a compact, blocky silhouette. Counters are relatively small and often rectangular, and the overall spacing feels tight and punchy, emphasizing dense black shapes and a strong horizontal sweep in the italic stance. Numerals and capitals follow the same sturdy, geometric logic, maintaining consistent weight and a unified, engineered rhythm.
Best suited for large-scale display work where weight and slant can deliver instant momentum—posters, sports and esports identity, product and energy-drink packaging, event graphics, and punchy hero headlines. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when set with generous size and spacing, but it is primarily a statement display face rather than a text workhorse.
The font projects speed and force: confident, muscular, and a bit aggressive. Its oblique angle and dense forms evoke sports branding, motorsport signage, and hard-edged contemporary display typography. The rounded corners keep it from feeling sharp or hostile, adding a modern, molded-plastic/industrial feel.
This design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, speed-forward look by combining a strong oblique stance with rounded-rectangle geometry and compact counters. The goal is an industrial, modern display voice that reads as powerful and athletic while staying cohesive through consistent superelliptical rounding.
The distinctive superelliptical rounding shows up across bowls and corners, giving letters a molded, aerodynamic profile. The shapes favor bold silhouettes over interior openness, which boosts impact at large sizes but can reduce counter clarity in smaller settings.
