A heavy, slanted sans with broad, squarish rounds and softened corners that give many letters a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle feel. Strokes are uniform and weighty, with compact internal counters and frequent wedge-like cuts at joins and terminals that create a brisk, forward rhythm. The proportions favor a tall x-height and sturdy caps, while forms like C/G/S and the numerals lean on flattened curves and tight apertures for a dense, high-impact texture.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact copy where its dense shapes and energetic slant can carry the composition. It works well for sports and esports branding, gaming/arcade-themed graphics, product packaging, and bold UI labels where a strong, modern display voice is needed.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, mixing a sporty, speed-oriented slant with a slightly retro, arcade-like chunkiness. Its softened geometry keeps it friendly rather than aggressive, making it feel bold, contemporary, and playfully mechanical at the same time.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize visual punch and motion through a consistent slant, tight counters, and rounded-rectangle geometry, while maintaining a clean sans structure. The angled cuts and compact apertures suggest an intention to evoke speed and tech-forward toughness without sharp, brittle edges.
The design relies on consistent corner rounding and angled detailing to maintain coherence across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The small counters and tight apertures can make text feel packed at smaller sizes, while larger settings emphasize the distinctive cut-ins and rounded-rectangular curves.
