A heavy, oblique sans with a compact footprint and a distinctly squared, superelliptical construction. Strokes stay broadly uniform, while corners are rounded and many terminals are cut on sharp diagonals, creating a brisk, mechanical rhythm. Counters tend toward rounded-rectangle shapes (notably in O/0, B, P, R, and 8), and the overall silhouette favors flat sides and tight apertures over circular softness. The figures are blocky and engineered, with the 1 and 7 reading as simple, angled forms and the 0 appearing as a squared oval.
Best suited to high-impact display settings such as sports identities, esports/team branding, event posters, product badges, and apparel graphics. It also works well for UI labels or packaging where a condensed, high-energy voice is needed and large sizes can preserve its tight apertures and diagonal detailing.
The tone is fast, forceful, and utilitarian—more motorsport and tactical than friendly or conversational. Its slanted stance and clipped terminals project motion and impact, lending a competitive, high-intensity feel.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum punch in limited horizontal space, combining squared, superelliptical forms with forward slant and cut terminals to suggest speed, machinery, and competitiveness.
The angled cuts are used consistently across the alphabet, giving headlines a serrated, forward-leaning texture. Curves are deliberately restrained, and the mix of squared bowls with rounded corners creates a techno flavor without becoming overly decorative.
