A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and a distinctly geometric build. Curves are drawn as rounded-rectangle/superellipse forms, producing squarish bowls and smooth, radiused corners rather than true circles. Strokes remain uniform with minimal modulation, and joins are clean and decisive, giving the letterforms a machined feel. The rhythm is forward-leaning and tight, with compact apertures and counters; terminals are mostly sheared or flat, reinforcing the streamlined, engineered look. Numerals and uppercase follow the same squared-round geometry for a consistent, high-impact texture in words and lines of text.
Best suited for short, prominent text where impact and motion are desirable—team identities, racing-themed graphics, game titles, esports overlays, product marks, and bold headline treatments. It also works well in tech-forward layouts and interface-style compositions when used at display sizes with slightly open spacing.
The overall tone is fast and performance-driven, suggesting speed, technology, and competitive energy. Its strong slant and chunky geometry read as assertive and action-oriented, leaning toward motorsport, sci‑fi interfaces, and athletic branding rather than neutral editorial use.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-speed, contemporary voice by combining a strong forward slant with superellipse-based, rounded-rectangular curves. The consistent stroke weight and squared geometry prioritize punch, coherence, and a modern industrial aesthetic in display typography.
The squared-round construction is especially noticeable in characters with bowls and curved shoulders, which maintain a consistent radius and keep counters relatively tight. At larger sizes the crisp angles and radiused corners feel sharp and modern; at smaller sizes the dense interior spaces may benefit from generous tracking to preserve clarity.
