A heavy, slanted sans with broad, low-profile proportions and a distinctly rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction. Curves are squarish rather than circular, with softened corners and firm, planar terminals that keep the texture dense and forward-leaning. Counters tend to be tight and apertures are relatively compact, while joins stay clean and controlled, giving the letters a machined, aerodynamic feel. Figures follow the same wide, streamlined logic, with the 0 reading as a rounded rectangle and several numerals using crisp, angled cuts that reinforce the italic motion.
Best suited to high-impact display work such as sports identities, motorsport or automotive graphics, tech-forward branding, packaging callouts, and promotional headlines. It performs particularly well where a sense of motion and power is desired, and where large sizes can preserve clarity in the tighter counters.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and contemporary—suggesting speed, performance, and modern engineering. Its slant and broad stance push it toward energetic, competitive messaging rather than neutral editorial reading.
The design appears intended to blend geometric, rounded-square forms with an italicized, high-energy stance for a modern, performance-oriented voice. It prioritizes punchy silhouettes and a cohesive, engineered rhythm over openness for long-form text.
The sample text shows strong headline presence and a compact, dark typographic color, with the slant creating continuous rightward flow across lines. The rounded-square forms keep it friendly enough to avoid harshness, while the tight internal spaces preserve intensity at larger sizes.
