A heavy, oblique sans with wide proportions and rounded-rectangle construction across curves and counters. Strokes are monolinear and end in softened terminals, producing a smooth, aerodynamic feel rather than sharp calligraphic detail. The forms lean forward consistently, with broad bowls and open apertures; internal spaces tend to be squarish-rounded, reinforcing a superelliptical geometry. Uppercase shapes are compact and muscular, while lowercase maintains a tall x-height with simple, sturdy joins and minimal modulation.
Best suited for short, high-impact text where its wide stance and oblique momentum can work as a visual hook—such as sports identities, automotive or motorsport graphics, tech-forward branding, posters, and bold UI headings or in-app banners. It can also function for packaging or label titles where a modern, streamlined personality is desired.
The overall tone is fast, engineered, and contemporary—suggesting motion, performance, and modern technology. Its rounded corners temper the weight with a friendly, approachable softness, keeping the voice confident rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong display voice with a forward-driving, modern silhouette, using rounded-rectangle geometry to balance toughness with approachability. Its consistent slant and broad shapes prioritize immediacy and brand character over compact text economy.
Distinctive construction details include an angular, forward-leaning rhythm and rectangularized counters (notably in letters like O, D, and B), plus a broad, graphic presence in numerals with consistent curvature and flat-ish horizontals. The italic slant reads structural (built into the shapes) rather than merely skewed, which helps maintain stability at display sizes.
