A condensed, forward-slanted sans with compact proportions and sturdy, uniform stroke weight. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and counters, while many joins and terminals are cut on sharp angles, creating a crisp, engineered silhouette. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with squared-off inner spaces (notably in O, D, and numerals) and consistently chamfered endings that keep forms clean at display sizes. Numerals and caps share the same assertive geometry, with simplified, blocky construction and minimal modulation.
Best suited to branding and display contexts where a compact, high-impact voice is needed—sports identities, esports graphics, event posters, tech or automotive campaigns, and punchy headlines. It can work for short UI labels or packaging callouts when space is limited, but its dense construction and strong slant make it less ideal for long-form reading.
The overall tone is fast and performance-oriented, with a motorsport and sci‑fi edge. Its slant and angular cuts convey motion and urgency, while the rounded-rectangle structure keeps it controlled and modern rather than aggressive or distressed.
The design appears intended to deliver a streamlined, speed-driven sans that feels engineered and contemporary. By combining condensed proportions with rounded-rectangle forms and angled terminals, it aims to project efficiency, motion, and a technical, performance-focused character.
Round letters read as superelliptical rather than circular, and the diagonal clipping on terminals is a recurring motif across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The lowercase uses similarly geometric constructions, keeping a consistent, technical feel; counters stay relatively closed and rectangular, which boosts density and impact in short lines.
