A condensed, right-slanted sans with heavy, even stroke weight and a distinctly squared-yet-rounded construction. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and corners, while terminals are frequently cut on sharp angles, giving forms a brisk, engineered finish. Counters are compact and often rectangular, spacing is tight, and the overall rhythm is forward-leaning and streamlined, with simplified geometry and minimal modulation.
Best suited to display settings where a compact, forceful voice is needed—headlines, posters, logos, product marks, esports or sports graphics, and tech-forward packaging. It can also work for UI labels or overlays when a condensed footprint is helpful, though its tight counters and aggressive slant favor larger sizes and shorter text.
The font conveys speed and impact, pairing a sporty, high-energy tone with a clean techno edge. Its squared curves and clipped endings feel utilitarian and modern, suggesting performance, machinery, and contemporary digital interfaces rather than softness or tradition.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, high-impact sans optimized for strong silhouette recognition in limited horizontal space. Its rounded-rectangle geometry and angled cuts aim to balance legibility with a distinctly modern, performance-driven personality.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent mechanical logic, with single-storey lowercase shapes and assertive diagonals that emphasize motion. Numerals follow the same squarish, compressed pattern, producing a cohesive texture in headlines and short bursts of copy.
