A heavy, oblique sans built from squared-off, superellipse-like forms with generously rounded corners. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with short, clipped terminals and frequent diagonal cuts that sharpen the silhouette. Counters tend toward rounded rectangles, and the overall drawing favors broad, compact shapes over delicate interior detail, producing strong color on the page. Uppercase and figures feel wide and sturdy, while lowercase remains robust and tightly constructed for a consistent, punchy rhythm.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as sports identities, event posters, product branding, esports and gaming UI accents, and bold editorial headlines. It can work for subheads or brief callouts where a strong, fast visual voice is desired, rather than long-form reading.
The letterforms read fast, loud, and kinetic, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests speed and impact. Its squared rounding and hard cuts evoke motorsport, athletic branding, and arcade-era display typography, giving it a confident, high-energy tone.
The font appears intended as a display-oriented, speed-coded geometric sans that combines rounded-rectangle construction with aggressive cuts and an oblique stance to maximize impact and immediacy.
The design leans on geometric repetition—rounded-rectangle bowls and straight-sided stems—so repeated text creates a uniform, logo-like texture. The slant and angled terminals add motion, but the heavy weight means small sizes and tight tracking may reduce interior clarity, especially in closed shapes.
