A heavy, slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are monolinear and chunky, with broad proportions and compact internal counters that give the letters a dense, high-impact silhouette. Curves resolve into superelliptical bowls (notably in O/C/G/Q), while many terminals and joins are sheared, creating a consistent forward-leaning, aerodynamic rhythm. The lowercase is built with a tall, sturdy body and simplified forms; the single-storey a and the squared, open shapes keep the texture clean at larger sizes, while the numerals echo the same rounded, chamfered geometry.
Best suited to display typography where impact and motion are desired—headlines, posters, product marks, and athletic or esports identities. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when set with generous spacing, but its dense counters and strong slant make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is fast, modern, and assertive—more “performance” than “neutral.” Its rounded geometry keeps it friendly, but the aggressive slant and wide stance push it toward a high-energy, engineered feel associated with motorsport, gaming, and tech branding.
The font appears designed to blend geometric, superelliptical forms with a forward-leaning stance to signal speed and modernity. Its simplified shapes and consistent rounding suggest an intention to stay clean and reproducible in branding applications while retaining a distinctive, performance-driven voice.
The design relies on a repeated language of superelliptical bowls and angled cutoffs, which helps maintain consistency across mixed-case settings. Wide side bearings and robust widths make words feel expansive, while the tight counters and heavy joints increase visual weight and presence in headlines.
