A heavy, forward-leaning sans with broad proportions and a squared, superelliptical construction. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with rounded rectangle bowls and softened corners that keep the geometry smooth even where cuts and notches appear. Many terminals are sliced on a consistent angle, creating a fast, aerodynamic rhythm across words. Counters are compact and the apertures tend to be narrow, producing a tight, punchy texture that reads as solid blocks at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as sports and esports identities, event posters, product branding, and attention-grabbing headers. The dense, compact counters favor larger sizes and bold lockups where the angular cuts and rounded-rect forms can be clearly appreciated.
The overall tone is high-energy and performance-driven, blending motorsport-like aggression with a futuristic, tech-forward feel. Its slanted stance and sharp cut-ins suggest speed and momentum, making the voice confident and assertive rather than friendly or quiet.
The design appears intended to deliver a streamlined, speed-inflected display sans that feels engineered and modern. Its consistent angled terminals and superelliptical bowls aim to balance sharpness and smoothness, projecting power and motion while staying clean and geometric.
The sample text shows strong headline presence with a distinctive zig-zag baseline feel created by angled joins and terminals. Numerals and capitals maintain the same squared-round DNA, and the oblique angle is integral to the design rather than a simple slant applied after the fact.
