A condensed, oblique sans with chunky strokes and visibly rounded outer corners paired with squared internal counters. Curves are tightened into near-rectangular bowls (notably in O/0 and a/e), and terminals often end in flat, sheared cuts that reinforce a forward-leaning rhythm. Forms feel constructed and modular, with occasional notch-like joins and slightly pinched transitions that suggest an ink-trap-inspired shaping. Spacing appears compact and the overall color is dark and even, maintaining strong impact in all-caps and mixed-case settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It also fits sports identities, gaming or tech-themed UI accents, and packaging/labeling that benefits from an engineered, forward-driving look. For long-form text, it reads more like a display face than a body-workhorse due to its dense weight and condensed rhythm.
The font projects a fast, engineered tone—confident and utilitarian with a sporty, techno edge. Its squared curves and forward slant evoke racing graphics, industrial labeling, and retro-futurist display aesthetics rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space while signaling speed and modernity. Squared counters, rounded corners, and notched joins work together to create a manufactured, performance-oriented impression that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Numerals are robust and geometric, with a distinctive 0 featuring an inset counter treatment, and the 1 presented as a simple vertical with minimal adornment. The lowercase maintains the same squared-round logic as the caps, giving the typeface a cohesive, logo-ready texture in sentences. The oblique angle is consistent and contributes more to momentum than to calligraphic softness.
