A heavy, oblique sans with a squared, superelliptical skeleton: rounded-rectangle bowls, softened corners, and broad, low-contrast strokes. Letterforms lean forward with a consistent slant and a slightly compressed internal spacing, producing small, angular counters (notably in a/e/o) and crisp, squared terminals. Curves are intentionally boxy rather than circular, and diagonals in forms like N/V/W/X are cut cleanly for a rigid, engineered feel. Numerals match the same rounded-rect geometry and stout proportions for a cohesive, sign-like texture.
This face is well suited to display work where bold, kinetic impact is needed: sports identities, motorsport or fitness graphics, gaming titles and UI labels, attention-grabbing posters, and punchy packaging. It also works effectively for short navigational text or badges where a compact, engineered look helps the message feel decisive.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and contemporary—more “performance” than “friendly.” Its forward lean and compact apertures suggest speed and urgency, while the rounded-rectangle construction adds a modern, technical edge that reads confident and impactful.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-energy, contemporary display voice built from rounded-rectangle forms and a consistent forward slant. It prioritizes impact, speed cues, and a modern industrial aesthetic over open counters and long-form readability.
At text sizes, the dense ink and tight counters create a strong color and high visual presence, making it best when given breathing room via tracking or larger sizes. The oblique stance stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping maintain a unified rhythm in headlines and short bursts of copy.
