A heavy, oblique sans with a squared-off, superelliptical skeleton: bowls and counters read like rounded rectangles rather than true circles. Strokes are dense and uniform with subtly tightened joins and compact apertures, giving the glyphs a robust, engineered feel. Terminals are mostly straight or slightly angled, and several forms show small interior notches that function like ink-trap hints, keeping counters open at bold sizes. Overall spacing is steady and display-oriented, with blocky silhouettes and crisp cut-ins that emphasize motion and impact.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, apparel graphics, esports or athletics branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for compact UI labels or section headers when a strong, kinetic voice is desired, but the dense counters and emphatic slant make it less ideal for long-form reading.
The tone is fast, forceful, and contemporary—more "performance" than "neutral." Its chunky, oblique shapes suggest speed and strength, evoking sports branding, action-forward headlines, and tech-meets-industrial aesthetics.
Likely designed to deliver maximum punch and speed through oblique stance and superelliptical construction, balancing tight counters with strategic cut-ins to preserve clarity at heavy weights. The consistent squared geometry suggests an intention to feel modern, engineered, and brand-forward across letters and numbers.
The design leans on rectangular geometry throughout: the uppercase reads especially monolithic, while the lowercase keeps a tight, utilitarian rhythm with compact bowls and simplified joins. Numerals follow the same squared, slanted logic for consistent headline use.
