A condensed, forward-leaning sans with a squared, superelliptic construction: bowls and counters read as rounded rectangles, and corners are consistently softened rather than fully circular. Strokes are uniform and heavy, with clean, engineered joins and a generally closed-aperture feel that keeps shapes compact. Curves are minimized in favor of straight segments and controlled radii, producing a tight, mechanical rhythm; diagonals (as in N, V, W, X, Y) are crisp and stable. The numerals follow the same squared logic, with stacked, boxy forms and minimal modulation, maintaining a cohesive, technical silhouette across the set.
Best suited to display settings where a fast, technical impression is desired: headlines, event posters, sports and esports identities, product marks, and tech or automotive packaging. It can also work for short UI labels and interface elements where compact width and strong silhouette help maintain presence, though longer text will feel dense and assertive.
The overall tone is modern and kinetic, evoking motorsport graphics, sci‑fi interfaces, and industrial labeling. Its oblique stance and compact geometry convey speed and urgency, while the rounded-rectangle shaping keeps the voice controlled and contemporary rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a streamlined, futuristic sans for high-energy communication, using rounded-rectangle geometry and an oblique posture to suggest speed while preserving consistent, engineered structure across letters and numerals.
In text, the dense spacing and narrow proportions create a strong horizontal flow; the italic angle is pronounced enough to read as motion even at larger sizes. The squared counters and tight apertures give the font a purposeful, engineered look that favors impact over softness.
