A heavy, forward-leaning sans with extended proportions and a compact, aerodynamic rhythm. Strokes stay essentially monoline, with corners consistently softened into rounded-rectangle turns while many terminals are sharply sheared, creating a hybrid of smooth superellipse bowls and cut, wedge-like endings. Counters are tight and often rectangular or slot-like (notably in B, 8, and 3), and apertures tend to be controlled and narrow. Uppercase forms read rigid and engineered; lowercase is similarly built, with a single-storey a and g, and a generally high, sturdy x-height that keeps the texture dense at display sizes. Numerals follow the same language, emphasizing horizontal cuts and rounded-square interiors for a cohesive, mechanical look.
Best suited to display applications where impact and motion are desirable: sports and esports identities, racing or automotive graphics, game titles, tech-forward packaging, event posters, and bold interface headlines. It also works well for short calls-to-action, badges, and merchandise marks where the extended, slanted forms can read as speed and strength.
The overall tone is fast, modern, and performance-oriented—suggesting speed, machinery, and competitive energy. The italic slant and sliced terminals add urgency and assertiveness, while the rounded geometry keeps it polished and contemporary rather than raw or distressed.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, speed-coded aesthetic by combining superellipse-based rounds with aggressive, angled terminals and tight internal counters. The consistent geometric logic across letters and numerals suggests a focus on cohesive branding and attention-grabbing headlines rather than neutral, everyday text setting.
Distinctive details include the frequent use of inset horizontal bars and notches (e.g., E/F-like cuts and the segmented feel in B/8/3), plus squared-off curves that keep round letters from feeling soft. The wide stance and dense black shapes favor confident, headline-driven typography over delicate text work.
