A heavy, forward-slanted sans with extended proportions and a compact, engineered rhythm. Letterforms lean strongly to the right, with broad, squared-off curves that read as rounded rectangles rather than circles. Corners are softened but not soft—most joins resolve into crisp angles and chamfer-like terminals, giving the shapes a cut, machined feel. Counters are tight and often rectangular, and many glyphs emphasize horizontal mass, producing a fast, low-silhouette profile in text. Numerals follow the same blocky, streamlined construction, maintaining consistent width and a sturdy, signage-like presence.
Best suited for short, impactful settings such as sports identities, racing or automotive graphics, esports titles, posters, and promotional headlines. It also works well for UI-style callouts, badges, and packaging accents where a strong, forward-moving voice is desirable and text is set at display sizes.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and performance-oriented, with a sleek, contemporary edge. Its slant and condensed interior spaces create a sense of speed and pressure, evoking motorsport, athletic branding, and sci-fi interface typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, speed-centric silhouette. Its squared superelliptical construction and decisive slant suggest a focus on modern performance aesthetics and clear recognition in bold, display-driven applications.
Uppercase forms stay compact and angular, while lowercase keeps a tall, utilitarian structure that prioritizes momentum over softness. The design’s repeated superelliptical bowls and squared counters create strong consistency across letters and figures, helping it hold together in dense, bold headlines.
