A heavy, oblique sans with squared, softly rounded outer corners and tightly enclosed counters. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with thick horizontals and dense joins that create a compact, muscular texture. Many terminals are sheared or notched, giving the outlines a machined, aerodynamic feel, and the forms lean forward consistently for a continuous sense of motion. The lowercase has a tall profile with small apertures, and the numerals follow the same slanted, blocky construction for a unified rhythm.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, event graphics, team or esports identities, and product packaging where impact and speed are the goal. It can work for short UI labels or wayfinding-style callouts when set large with extra letterspacing, but it is less comfortable for long-form reading due to its dense, high-energy shapes.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, evoking motorsport graphics, performance gear, and action-oriented branding. Its sharp cuts and forward slant read as modern and assertive, with a slightly retro arcade/industrial edge.
The design appears intended to project speed and power through a forward-leaning stance, blocky proportions, and engineered corner cuts. It prioritizes a bold, branded silhouette and a cohesive, performance-themed aesthetic over neutrality or small-size text clarity.
At text sizes the dense counters and tight apertures can darken quickly, especially in words with repeated verticals; it benefits from generous tracking and short line lengths. The distinctive cut-in details become a key identifying feature at display sizes, where the modulated strokes and notches are most visible.
