A heavy, forward-slanted sans with a squared–rounded (superelliptical) construction and crisp, chamfer-like terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and many joins form sharp internal angles that emphasize speed and direction. Counters are compact and rectangular-oval, producing dense word shapes; the lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, and the numerals follow the same blocky, streamlined logic. Spacing appears moderately tight, giving lines a cohesive, punchy rhythm in text.
Well-suited to high-impact display work such as sports branding, racing-themed graphics, gaming and esports titles, and bold poster headlines. It can also work for short UI labels or packaging callouts when set with generous size and adequate tracking to preserve counter clarity.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and modern, evoking motorsport, sci‑fi interfaces, and competitive energy. Its slant and angular cuts add urgency and motion, while the rounded-rect geometry keeps the style controlled and engineered rather than casual.
The design appears intended to communicate speed and strength through an oblique stance, dense forms, and engineered superelliptical geometry. The sharp corner treatments and compact apertures suggest a focus on punchy, attention-grabbing headlines rather than long-form reading.
Distinctive wedge cuts and notched corners create a consistent “machined” personality across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The silhouette reads best at display sizes where the tight counters and sharp joins can remain clear, and the bold mass can carry through busy backgrounds.
