This typeface is built from heavy, compact strokes with an oblique forward slant and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Curves resolve into softly squared corners, producing boxy counters and rectangular apertures (notably in O, D, P, and 0) while maintaining smooth, continuous edges. Joins and terminals are generally blunt and clean, with a consistent, engineered rhythm; some forms use small cut-ins and notches that emphasize speed and direction. The lowercase maintains a sturdy, readable silhouette with a pragmatic, single-storey feel where applicable, and numerals follow the same squared-round logic for a cohesive texture in display sizes.
Best suited for bold display applications such as sports identities, esports team marks, event posters, product packaging, and attention-forward headlines. It also fits UI or tech-themed graphics when used at larger sizes where the squared counters and cut-in details remain clear.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and contemporary, with strong cues from motorsport, athletic branding, and sci‑fi interface aesthetics. Its forward lean and blocky, rounded geometry communicate momentum and impact, while the controlled construction keeps it feeling purposeful rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, speed-driven sans look by combining superelliptical rounding with assertive, oblique forms and compact internal spaces. The goal seems to be a distinctive, modern voice that stays legible in large-scale branding while projecting motion and strength.
The design’s wide stance and dense stroke mass create a dark, high-energy text color that excels at grabbing attention, especially in short phrases. The squarish counters and notched details add character, but they also make spacing and word shapes feel tightly packed at smaller sizes.
