A heavy, forward-leaning sans with rounded-rectangle construction and flattened curves that read as superelliptic rather than purely circular. Strokes are uniformly thick with soft corner radii, producing broad, blocky silhouettes and tight internal counters. The italic slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving a continuous left-to-right sweep. Lowercase forms show a tall x-height and sturdy joins, while round letters like o/c/e stay squarish and enclosed; terminals tend to be blunt and slightly sheared, reinforcing the engineered, aerodynamic feel.
Best suited for high-impact display settings such as headlines, posters, sports and motorsport branding, bold identity marks, and packaging where a compact, slanted, rounded-square texture helps create momentum. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when size is large enough to keep counters from filling in.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with a sporty, performance-oriented voice that feels suited to motion and impact. Its rounded squareness adds a friendly edge to an otherwise tough, industrial presence, nodding to retro athletic and arcade-era display typography.
The design intent appears to be a bold, speed-inflected sans that combines rounded-rectangle geometry with a consistent oblique stance to maximize visual impact. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a cohesive, athletic rhythm over openness and fine detail.
Spacing appears visually tight at large sizes, and the dense counters and compact apertures make the face read best when given generous tracking or used in short bursts. Numerals follow the same oblique, blocky logic, staying consistent in weight and stance with the letters.
