A heavy, forward-slanted sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and tightly controlled curves. Strokes are thick and compact, with small counters and frequent internal notches/cut-ins that create sharp highlights and a mechanical rhythm. Terminals are mostly blunt and softly rounded, while corners are chamfered by curvature rather than sharp angles. The letterforms feel horizontally expansive overall, with sturdy proportions and a consistent, engineered silhouette across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports or gaming graphics, team marks, event promotions, and bold packaging callouts. It reads most confidently at medium-to-large sizes where the internal cut-ins and tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone is fast, aggressive, and display-driven—evoking motorsport, athletic branding, and vintage arcade or sci‑fi titling. The slant and massing give it a sense of motion and impact, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a sense of speed and engineered precision, using rounded-rectangle anatomy and repeated notch details to create a distinctive, branded texture in display typography.
Spacing in the sample appears dense, with the weight and narrow apertures producing strong word shapes at larger sizes. Distinctive interior cutouts (seen in letters like A, B, D, O, and numerals) add texture and help separate forms despite the heavy color. The numerals are similarly blocky and stylized, matching the caps in presence and stance.
