A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and squared-off curves that read like superellipses. Strokes are thick and consistent, with compact, inset counters and frequent notches/ink-trap-like cut-ins that sharpen joins and improve separation at tight interior spaces. Terminals are mostly blunt and slightly softened by rounding, while bowls and arches stay boxy rather than circular. The overall rhythm is tight and punchy, favoring dense shapes and high fill with minimal interior whitespace.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as sports and esports identities, event posters, product packaging, and bold campaign headlines. It also works well for techy or industrial display typography where speed and power are part of the message, especially at medium to large sizes where the compact counters remain clear.
The tone is fast, forceful, and mechanically confident, evoking motorsport lettering, arcade-era graphics, and performance branding. Its compact counters and steep slant create a sense of motion and urgency, while the rounded corners keep it approachable rather than brutal.
The design appears intended as a display sans that combines rounded-rectangle geometry with aggressive, speed-driven italicization. The notched joins and tight counters suggest an aim for dense, high-energy letterforms that stay legible while projecting a performance-oriented personality.
Uppercase forms feel especially compact and forward-leaning, with distinctive cut-ins that create a chiseled, engineered look. Numerals match the same chunky, slanted construction, keeping a cohesive voice for headings that mix letters and digits.
