A heavy, slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and soft corners throughout. Strokes stay largely uniform, with broad, open counters shaped like squarish bowls, giving letters a compact, engineered feel. Terminals are blunt and smoothly radiused, and joins are clean and sturdy, producing a tight rhythm at display sizes. Curves tend to resolve into superelliptical arcs rather than true circles, and the overall silhouette reads as aerodynamic and slightly condensed despite the strong weight.
Best suited to headlines, logotypes, and brand marks where a bold, fast, contemporary voice is desired. It works well for sports and esports identities, tech or gaming promotions, posters, apparel graphics, and punchy packaging or labels. For UI or longer copy, it will be most effective in short labels or emphasis text rather than extended reading.
The tone is sporty and high-impact, with a distinctly techno and forward-leaning attitude. Its blocky rounded shapes and pronounced slant suggest speed, performance, and modern industrial design, making it feel assertive and action-oriented.
The design appears intended to merge geometric, rounded-rectangular forms with a dynamic slant to communicate speed and modernity. By keeping strokes robust and corners softened, it aims for an impactful display presence that still feels streamlined and controlled.
Distinctive squarish counters (notably in forms like O/0 and other rounded bowls) reinforce the geometric theme. The numerals match the uppercase with similarly rounded corners and compact interior spaces, supporting consistent headline use. The strong italic angle and dense shapes can make long passages feel intense, favoring short bursts of text.
