A heavy, oblique sans with a geometric build that leans on rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms. Strokes are thick and uniform, with tight apertures and compact counters that keep the silhouette dense and punchy. Terminals tend to be squared-off with softened corners, and curves feel engineered rather than calligraphic. Overall spacing and rhythm favor short, forceful shapes, producing a fast, forward-leaning texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display roles where momentum and impact are desirable—sports identities, racing or motorsport graphics, esports/team marks, posters, and bold editorial headings. It can work for short subheads and callouts, but the dense counters and strong slant are most effective when given ample size and breathing room.
The font reads as energetic and performance-driven, with a sleek, mechanized tone. Its slanted stance and dense shapes suggest speed and impact, lending a modern, competitive feel that fits action-oriented or tech-forward branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, speed-coded voice through oblique geometry, compact interiors, and rounded-rectangular construction. It prioritizes bold recognizability and a cohesive, engineered silhouette over quiet neutrality.
Distinctive features include rounded-rectangular bowls (notably in O/0 and e), a single-storey a, and numerals that match the same compact, squared-yet-softened geometry. The strong slant and heavy mass reduce delicacy but increase presence, especially at larger sizes.
