A slanted geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) bowls and consistently chamfered corners that create a crisp, engineered silhouette. Strokes are largely monolinear, with a forward-leaning rhythm and slightly squared curves in characters like O, C, and Q. Terminals are clean and cut, producing compact counters and a tight, streamlined texture in words. Numerals follow the same angular-squared logic, with open, straight-sided forms and minimal curvature.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its slant and chamfered geometry can communicate speed and modernity—headlines, sports or esports identities, event posters, and tech-forward packaging. It can also work for UI labels or dashboards when set with generous spacing, where the squared bowls and clean cuts stay crisp.
The overall tone feels fast and contemporary, with a motorsport/tech edge driven by the oblique stance and clipped geometry. Its squared rounding reads confident and functional rather than friendly, giving it a purposeful, performance-oriented voice.
The design appears intended to merge a geometric sans foundation with a performance aesthetic: forward-leaning forms, squared curves, and consistent corner chamfers to suggest motion and precision. It prioritizes a unified, engineered shape language that stays recognizable in bold, high-impact typography.
Uppercase forms stay tall and narrow with simplified construction (notably in E/F/T), while lowercase keeps a strong forward motion and clear differentiation between straight strokes and rounded-rectangle bowls. The font maintains a consistent visual system across letters and figures, with the same corner treatments and diagonal stress applied throughout.
