A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are monolinear and tightly drawn, with squared-off terminals softened by generous corner radii. Many joins and inner corners show sharp notches and cut-ins that create an ink-trap-like texture, helping open counters in letters such as a, e, o, and p. The rhythm is compact and punchy: counters are small, apertures are narrow, and diagonals in A, K, V, W, X and Z are steep and emphatic. Figures follow the same chunky, streamlined logic, with oval/rounded-rect bowls and strong horizontal emphasis in forms like 2, 5, and 9.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and esports identities, team apparel, product marks, and packaging callouts. It performs particularly well when set large, where the rounded geometry and carved joins read crisply and contribute to a distinctive, energetic voice.
The overall tone is fast, tough, and performance-oriented, evoking motorsport lettering, athletic branding, and high-impact display typography. Its slanted stance and aggressively carved details read as energetic and competitive, with a slightly retro tech flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a streamlined, engineered silhouette: rounded superellipse forms for solidity, an oblique slant for motion, and deliberate notches to preserve clarity in dense, heavy shapes. The result is a display face aimed at bold branding and fast-paced, action-oriented communication.
Round dots and compact punctuation-like shapes (as seen in i/j) reinforce the geometric, engineered feel. The sample text shows strong word-shape cohesion at larger sizes, where the notches and tight counters become a signature texture rather than a legibility liability.
