A condensed oblique sans with a geometric, rounded-rectangle construction and consistently squared-off curves. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with sharp diagonal cuts and slightly chamfered/rounded corners that keep counters tight and forms compact. The rhythm is forward-leaning and energetic, with simplified, streamlined joins and terminals that emphasize speed and direction. Numerals and capitals follow the same superelliptical logic, producing boxy bowls and clipped curves that read cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short emphatic text where its compact width and slanted momentum can do the work—sports identities, motorsport/racing graphics, tech product marks, and game or esports overlays. It can also function for UI labels or navigational elements when set with generous spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone feels fast, mechanical, and performance-oriented—like lettering built for motion, technology, and competition. Its slanted stance and compact shapes communicate urgency and confidence, leaning into a contemporary, engineered aesthetic.
The design appears intended to deliver a streamlined, high-speed voice using superelliptical geometry, tight proportions, and directional slant, prioritizing impact and a modern engineered feel over neutrality.
Several glyphs show distinctive diagonal shears and inset-like notches that add a machined, cut-metal character without introducing decorative flourishes. The tight apertures and compact counters can create a dense texture in longer text, while headings maintain strong silhouette clarity.
