A heavy, oblique sans with chunky superellipse construction: rounded-rectangle bowls and counters paired with sharply cut terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with compact apertures, and many joins feel squared-off, giving the shapes a blocky, engineered look despite the softened corners. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and sturdy, short ascenders/descenders, while figures are broad and dense with flattened curves and minimal interior space. Overall rhythm is tight and forceful, with a pronounced forward slant and strong horizontal emphasis.
Best suited to headlines, punchy taglines, and display settings where the forward-leaning stance and dense shapes can deliver urgency and momentum. It can work well for team identities, event posters, product packaging, and logo wordmarks, especially when set with generous tracking or ample surrounding whitespace.
The tone is fast, tough, and attention-grabbing—akin to sports branding, racing graphics, and bold promotional typography. Its mix of rounded geometry and aggressive cuts adds a slightly retro, arcade-like energy while staying clean and contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a sense of speed, using superellipse-based rounding for friendliness while relying on angled cuts and tight apertures for aggression and control. It prioritizes bold silhouette recognition and energetic rhythm for display-driven typography.
Distinctive clipped terminals and flattened curves keep the letters from feeling purely rounded, adding a technical, machined character. The density of the counters suggests better performance at larger sizes or in short statements where impact matters more than fine detail.
