A compact, right-leaning sans with thick strokes and tightly drawn proportions. Letterforms are built from squared, superellipse-like curves: rounded corners and flattened bowls give counters a rectangular-oval feel, while terminals are mostly blunt and clean. The rhythm is dense and steady, with short extenders and a tall lowercase that keeps words visually solid at display sizes. Figures and capitals follow the same blocky geometry, producing a cohesive, stamp-like texture with strong black presence.
Best suited to high-impact display work such as sports branding, event posters, product packaging, apparel graphics, and attention-grabbing UI labels. It performs well where compact width and strong presence are advantages, especially in short phrases, titles, and logotype-style treatments.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, combining a sporty, performance feel with an industrial edge. Its slant and compressed stance suggest motion and urgency, while the rounded-rectangle geometry keeps it controlled rather than aggressive or sharp. The result reads as confident, utilitarian, and slightly retro in a motorsport or action-title way.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a condensed footprint, pairing a strong slant with rounded-rectangle construction for a modern, engineered look. It prioritizes momentum, density, and instant recognition over neutral text readability.
Distinctive squared bowls and rounded corners show consistently across both cases and numerals, creating a recognizable “squircle” silhouette in words. The slant is assertive and the internal counters are relatively tight, which boosts impact but can reduce clarity at small sizes or in long passages.
