A heavy, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and squared counters that give letters a compact, engineered feel. Strokes are broad and even, with crisp, angled terminals and frequent chamfer-like cuts that reinforce forward motion. Curves resolve into superelliptical corners rather than true circles, keeping bowls and apertures tight and geometric. Spacing reads compact in text, and the overall rhythm is punchy and high-impact, with numerals and capitals designed to hold solid blocks of color.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as headlines, identity marks, packaging callouts, and event graphics where a strong silhouette is an asset. It also fits UI titling for games or dashboards when you want an italicized, tech-forward voice, but it is less ideal for long-form reading due to its density and dramatic slant.
The tone is fast, modern, and performance-driven, combining sleek geometry with aggressive slant for a sense of speed. Its squared curves and sharp cuts evoke motorsport, sci‑fi interfaces, and contemporary tech branding rather than editorial or traditional settings.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, speed-oriented display voice built on superelliptical geometry, balancing hard-edged cuts with softened corners. The goal appears to be maximum impact and a cohesive, futuristic texture across letters and numbers.
Distinctive diagonals and notched or beveled details appear throughout, especially in characters like S, G, and Z, which enhances the mechanical look. The oblique angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, and the rounded corners help prevent the heavy weight from feeling overly harsh.
