A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and smoothly rounded geometry. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal visible modulation, creating dense counters and tight apertures that emphasize mass over delicacy. Curves are built from bold circular/elliptical forms, and terminals are clean and blunt, giving the letters a solid, engineered feel. Spacing appears generous enough to keep the weight from clogging in display sizes, while the overall rhythm stays fast and forward-leaning due to the pronounced slant.
This font is best suited to attention-grabbing display settings such as headlines, posters, sports and esports branding, bold packaging, and short-form signage. It performs especially well when you want fast, slanted emphasis and high impact at larger sizes, where its dense counters and heavy strokes read cleanly and decisively.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, performance-minded character. Its strong oblique stance and compact inner spaces create a sense of speed and impact that reads as competitive and confident, with a subtle retro-tech flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, speed-oriented sans that stays smooth and rounded rather than sharp or angular. It prioritizes visual punch, forward motion, and a cohesive, uniform stroke presence for branding and display typography.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and slightly compressed internally, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, modern construction with rounded bowls and simplified joins. Numerals are similarly bold and substantial, matching the letters’ wide footprint and maintaining clear silhouettes in large-scale use.
