A heavy, obliqued sans with wide proportions and a squared–rounded (superellipse) construction. Curves resolve into rounded rectangles, producing boxy counters and softened corners rather than true circles. Strokes are low-contrast and consistently thick, with frequent horizontal shearing that gives terminals and joins a forward-cut, aerodynamic look. Spacing is tight and the silhouette is dense, with a tall lowercase height that keeps lines of text visually solid and continuous.
Best suited to display work where impact and motion are desirable: sports identities, racing and automotive graphics, esports/event promos, packaging callouts, and bold editorial headlines. It can work for short UI labels or signage when set large, but its dense weight and tight apertures favor brief text over extended reading.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and contemporary, evoking motorsport, athletic branding, and sci‑fi interface graphics. Its forward slant and carved-in forms read as energetic and performance-oriented rather than neutral or bookish.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward-leaning stance while maintaining a cohesive, geometric system based on rounded-rect forms. It prioritizes speed, solidity, and a modern industrial voice for attention-grabbing typography.
The rhythm is driven by angular diagonals and flattened rounds, which can increase visual speed but also makes similar shapes feel more alike at small sizes. Numerals and caps share the same rounded-rect geometry, keeping a consistent, engineered feel across headings and display settings.
