A heavy, slanted sans with condensed proportions and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are uniform and dense, with softened corners and squared-off terminals that create a compact, machined silhouette. Counters are small and often rectangular or slot-like, and curves (such as C, O, S) resolve into superelliptical bowls rather than true circles. The rhythm is tight and forward-leaning, producing a strong horizontal sweep in words while maintaining sturdy vertical stems.
Best suited to high-impact display applications such as sports identities, event posters, esports or racing-themed graphics, bold packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks. It can work in short subheads or captions when space is tight, but its dense forms and tight counters favor larger sizes and strong contrast against the background.
The overall tone is fast, tough, and performance-oriented, with a contemporary, engineered feel. Its forward slant and compact massing suggest speed and impact, while the rounded corners keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact footprint, combining speed cues from the slant with sturdy, rounded-rectilinear forms for a modern, industrial presence.
The figures and uppercase share the same compact, high-impact color, and the lowercase maintains strong presence rather than receding, making mixed-case settings feel headline-driven. The design’s squared bowls and narrow apertures emphasize a solid texture, especially in longer lines.
