A heavy oblique sans with square-rounded, superellipse-like construction and softly radiused corners throughout. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with compact internal counters and clean cut terminals that keep the silhouettes tight and punchy. Curves tend to resolve into rounded-rectangle geometry (notably in O, D, and zero), while diagonals and joins create a fast, forward-leaning rhythm. The lowercase is built for impact rather than delicacy, with simplified forms and sturdy bowls; figures are similarly chunky with flattened curves and clear, blocky proportions.
This face works best in display settings where strong presence and motion cues matter: sports and racing identities, esports graphics, product marks, headlines, and bold packaging. It can also serve for short technical or UI-style callouts when a compact, forceful typographic voice is desired.
The overall tone is high-energy and performance-driven, combining a futuristic, machined feel with the urgency of slanted, compressed forms. It reads as bold, confident, and slightly aggressive—well suited to contexts that want speed, power, or a competitive edge.
The letterforms appear designed to communicate speed and strength through a pronounced slant, compact counters, and superellipse-based rounding. The consistent, blocky construction suggests an intention to stay highly legible at large sizes while projecting a modern, engineered aesthetic.
The design favors strong silhouettes and tight apertures, which increases visual density in longer lines of text. Rounded corners soften the otherwise angular, industrial shapes, helping large sizes feel modern rather than harsh.
