A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and a superelliptical construction: strokes feel carved from rounded rectangles with softened corners and squared-off curves. The forms show noticeable contrast between main strokes and cut-in notches, with frequent angular incisions that create small interior apertures and ink-trap-like cavities. Terminals are blunt and flattened rather than tapered, and the overall silhouette stays low and aerodynamic. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and the rhythm is punchy and compact, with geometric consistency across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for high-impact display work such as sports identities, event posters, product logos, streaming thumbnails, and gaming or tech interfaces where a fast, industrial voice is desired. It can work for short bursts of copy—taglines, labels, and callouts—when set with generous spacing and strong contrast against the background.
The tone is fast, assertive, and mechanical, evoking racing graphics, arcade-era display lettering, and sporty branding. Its forward slant and sharp cut-ins add urgency and a sense of motion, while the rounded-rectangle bones keep it sleek rather than spiky.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, motion-driven look using superelliptical geometry and oblique stance, with engineered cut-ins that enhance differentiation between letters at large sizes. It prioritizes a compact, aerodynamic texture that reads as modern and performance-oriented.
Caps are tall and blocky, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, utilitarian feel with simple, engineered joins. Numerals match the same streamlined geometry and read like signage figures, emphasizing speed over delicacy. In longer text the dense black shapes and tight apertures create a strong texture, favoring impact over calm readability.
