A slanted, extended sans with a squared, superellipse-driven construction: counters and outer curves resolve into rounded rectangles, and many joins are clipped with crisp chamfers. Strokes are heavy and uniform, with minimal contrast and a firm, engineered rhythm. The overall silhouette leans forward with tight, efficient apertures and compact counters, while terminals tend to finish flat or diagonally cut. Numerals and capitals share the same geometric logic, creating a consistent, modular texture across lines of text.
Best suited to display settings where a fast, engineered look is desirable—sports identities, automotive or gaming themes, technology packaging, event posters, and large-format signage. It can also work for short UI labels or dashboards when a bold, performance-oriented voice is needed, but it’s most impactful at medium to large sizes.
The font projects speed and precision, with a contemporary, machine-made tone. Its forward slant and angular cuts suggest motion and performance, while the rounded-rectangle geometry keeps the feel controlled and technical rather than playful.
The design appears intended to blend geometric, rounded-rectangle forms with aggressive chamfers and a strong forward slant, producing a sleek, high-velocity sans optimized for contemporary display use.
Distinctive features include squarish bowls (notably in forms like O/Q/0) and chamfered corners that create a stealthy, aerodynamic profile. The italic angle is assertive, and the wide set width gives headlines a stretched, panoramic presence.
