An oblique, monoline outline design with open counters and a consistent inner gap that creates a clean hollow/inline feel. Forms are compact and slightly condensed, built from straight segments with softened, rounded corners and clipped terminals that emphasize forward motion. Curves are squared-off rather than fully circular, and diagonals (as in N, V, W, X, Y) are crisp and uniform, giving the alphabet a tight, engineered rhythm. Numerals echo the same geometry with chamfered corners and open interiors for strong stylistic continuity.
Best suited to display contexts such as sports branding, team/event graphics, posters, packaging accents, and apparel where the outline look can be supported by strong contrast or color fills behind it. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when set large enough to preserve the interior gaps and corner details.
The overall tone reads sporty and kinetic, like athletic lettering or racing graphics, with a mildly retro, arcade-adjacent flavor. The outline construction keeps it airy and light on the page while still feeling assertive and attention-seeking, especially at larger sizes.
Likely intended as a high-impact, motion-forward outline face that evokes athletic and performance aesthetics while staying versatile enough for contemporary display typography. The consistent geometry and rounded chamfers suggest a deliberate balance between technical precision and approachable character.
Because the strokes are defined only by contours, interior spacing and background contrast play a big role in perceived weight. The slant and condensed set amplify momentum, while the squared-round detailing keeps the style friendly rather than aggressive.
