A heavy, oblique sans with softened, superelliptical curves and rounded-rectangle counters. Strokes are largely monolinear with gentle modulation from the slant, and terminals tend to be squared-off but eased, producing a clean, engineered feel. Proportions are compact in the lowercase with a relatively low x-height and open apertures; several forms show subtle ink-trap-like notches and cut-ins that sharpen joins and improve clarity at size. Figures are sturdy and simplified, with a slightly condensed, forward-leaning rhythm that reads firmly in display settings.
This font suits energetic headlines, team or event graphics, and brand marks that need a modern, speed-driven voice. It also works well for posters, packaging callouts, and tech-forward UI accents where bold, compact letterforms are desirable.
The overall tone is fast and purposeful, combining a sporty forward lean with a controlled, technical polish. Rounded corners keep it approachable, while the dark color and crisp cut-ins add a tough, performance-oriented edge.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, contemporary silhouette: rounded-rectangle geometry for modernity, an oblique stance for motion, and small cut-ins to keep dense shapes from clogging when set in tight, dark text.
The design maintains consistent corner radii and curvature logic across rounds and bowls, reinforcing a cohesive superellipse theme. The oblique angle is pronounced, giving lines of text a strong sense of motion and making the face especially impactful in short phrases and headings.
