A heavy, oblique sans with extended proportions and a compact, forward-driving rhythm. Letterforms are built from squared-off curves and rounded-rectangle geometry, producing D/O/Q-like shapes that feel superelliptic rather than purely circular. Strokes are thick and even, with crisp terminals and frequent chamfer-like cuts that sharpen corners and create a mechanical, engineered look. Counters stay relatively open for the weight, and the uppercase reads sturdy and blocky while the lowercase is similarly robust with simplified, sturdy structures.
Best suited to high-impact display work such as sports and racing identities, team marks, event posters, product branding, and energetic editorial headings. It can also work for tech-leaning interfaces, packaging callouts, and signage where a strong, streamlined voice is needed.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, with a motorsport/athletics energy and a contemporary tech edge. Its slanted stance and squared curves project momentum, confidence, and a slightly futuristic industrial character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through weight, slant, and superelliptic construction, combining rounded-rectangle curves with sharp, cut terminals for speed and clarity in display sizes.
Figures are bold and geometric, matching the letterforms with squared curves and strong diagonals, which helps numerals hold their own in display settings. The oblique angle and wide set amplify presence, especially in short words and headline lines.
