This typeface is a condensed, right-leaning sans with a squared, superellipse-based construction. Stems are thick and uniform with subtly rounded outer corners, while counters and apertures often echo rounded-rectangle shapes. Terminals tend to be clipped or flat, producing a crisp, engineered feel; curves (notably in C, G, O, Q, and numerals) are tightened into boxy ovals rather than true circles. The rhythm is tightly spaced and upright proportions are tall, giving the alphabet a compact, vertical texture that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for display typography where a compact, energetic voice is desirable: headlines, posters, branding systems, esports/sports identity, automotive or industrial themes, and UI accents. The condensed width and strong slant help it cut through in short strings, making it particularly effective for logos, badges, and product titling.
The overall tone is fast and purposeful, combining a sporty slant with a technical, industrial edge. Its squared curves and firm terminals read as contemporary and performance-oriented, suggesting speed, machinery, and modern branding rather than casual or literary settings.
The design appears intended to deliver an aerodynamic, modern sans for impactful display use, using squared superellipse forms and clipped terminals to create a controlled, engineered personality. Its condensed proportions and consistent stroke language prioritize punch and motion over neutral text setting.
Distinctive details include a boxed, rounded-rectangle "O" and similarly squared bowls in letters like "D" and "P," plus narrow apertures that reinforce the condensed silhouette. Numerals follow the same squared-oval logic and remain bold and legible at display sizes, matching the alphabet’s tight, aerodynamic cadence.
