A heavy, oblique sans with extended proportions and a compact, forward-leaning stance. Letterforms are built from squared-off curves and rounded-rectangle geometry, producing smooth corners and broad, flat strokes. Many joins and terminals show small angular cut-ins that read like ink-trap-inspired notches, adding bite and texture without introducing contrast. Counters are relatively tight (notably in C, G, S, and e), and the overall rhythm is dense and blocky with consistent, engineered curves across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for high-impact display use such as sports identities, esports and gaming interfaces, automotive or tech marketing, packaging callouts, and bold editorial headlines. It can also work for short UI labels and wayfinding where a strong, condensed message needs to feel fast and contemporary.
The tone is forceful and kinetic, with a speed-and-performance feel reminiscent of motorsport and contemporary tech branding. Its chunky silhouettes and sharp cut-ins convey toughness and urgency, while the softened corners keep it modern rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and motion through a pronounced slant, wide stance, and superelliptic construction. The repeated angular notches and tight apertures suggest an emphasis on rugged, performance-oriented styling while preserving clean sans legibility.
Uppercase shapes stay compact and rectangular in feel, while the lowercase maintains similar mass and oblique energy, helping mixed-case settings look cohesive. Numerals are similarly wide and sturdy, designed to remain readable at a glance and to match the same squared-curve construction.
