A heavy, forward-leaning sans with compact counters and broad, rounded-rectangle construction. Curves are squared-off into superellipse-like bowls, while joins and terminals are sharply sheared, creating a fast, mechanical rhythm. The stroke treatment stays consistent across the set, with occasional notch-like cuts and angled undershoots that add bite without introducing true serifs. Numerals and capitals are especially chunky and stable, with tight internal space and a strong, poster-ready silhouette.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, fast visual voice is desired—sports teams, esports identities, event promos, product packaging, and bold editorial openers. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers when given generous tracking and ample size.
The overall tone is high-impact and kinetic, with a distinctly sporty, competitive feel. Its slanted stance and sharp cuts evoke speed, motorsport, and arcade-era display typography, projecting confidence and urgency. The rounded geometry keeps it friendly enough to feel contemporary rather than purely industrial.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact and motion through a forward slant, compact counters, and squared-rounded geometry. The angled cuts and notches suggest an intent to create a distinctive, high-energy display face that remains cohesive and highly recognizable in large settings.
The design relies on large black shapes and small apertures, so readability improves as sizes increase and spacing is opened up. Angular cut-ins on letters like S, Z, and some diagonals add distinctive texture that can look especially striking in short words or logos.
