A heavy, slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and tight internal apertures. Strokes stay largely monoline and terminate in clean, softly radiused corners, giving the forms a molded, superelliptical feel rather than sharp geometry. Counters and notches are often squared-off and inset, creating distinctive cut-ins (notably in letters like E, S, and a) that add rhythm and a sense of engineered structure. The lowercase runs large with short extenders, while figures and capitals maintain a compact, forward-leaning silhouette that stays cohesive in dense settings.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, sports identities, esports/gaming graphics, product marks, and energetic packaging. It performs particularly well where a compact, forward-moving look is desired and where large sizes can showcase the distinctive inset cuts and rounded block construction.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, with a motorsport/athletics energy and a slightly sci‑fi, arcade-like edge. Its forward slant and chunky shapes communicate momentum and impact, reading as confident and attention-grabbing rather than subtle or editorial.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, speed-oriented voice using superelliptical geometry, emphasizing momentum, solidity, and a cohesive branded texture. The repeated cut-ins and tight counters suggest an intention to feel engineered and modern, optimized for display-driven communication.
The design leans on repeated internal cut patterns and rounded block forms, which can make letterforms feel highly branded at display sizes. In longer text, the strong slant and tight counters increase visual intensity and can reduce comfort, but they reinforce a consistent, high-energy texture.
