A heavy, oblique sans with broad, squared counters and rounded-rectangle curves that create a compact, engineered silhouette. Strokes are thick and consistent, with brisk diagonal terminals and frequent cut-ins that suggest speed lines, especially in letters like S, Z, and the numerals. The uppercase is tall and commanding with wide internal apertures kept tightly controlled, while the lowercase stays sturdy and utilitarian, with simple one-storey forms and restrained curves. Overall spacing and rhythm feel dense and forward-leaning, producing a strong, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited for short, bold applications where impact and motion are desirable: sports and esports identities, team marks, event posters, tech-forward headlines, and product branding. It can also work for UI labels or packaging callouts when set large enough to preserve the crisp interior shapes.
The tone is fast, forceful, and performance-driven, with a distinctly modern, competitive energy. Its oblique slant and sharp corner treatments read as athletic and tactical, while the rounded-rectangle construction keeps it feeling contemporary and industrial rather than ornamental.
The letterforms appear designed to communicate speed and power through an oblique stance, tight proportions, and consistent superelliptical geometry. The repeated angled cuts and compact counters suggest an intention to perform well in bold display settings and to convey a modern, performance-oriented identity.
The design relies on repeated geometric motifs—rounded corners, squared bowls, and angled cuts—to maintain cohesion across letters and numerals. The figures follow the same compact, squared construction, helping mixed alphanumeric strings stay visually uniform and punchy.
