A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and clipped, chamfer-like terminals. Counters tend to be squarish and inset, with smooth corner radii that keep the texture cohesive even at large sizes. The forms are compact and sturdy, with broad strokes, tight internal spaces, and a forward-leaning rhythm; diagonal cuts and angled joins add a sense of motion. Numerals match the same blocky, rounded geometry, and the overall set maintains a consistent, engineered silhouette across cases.
Best suited for high-impact display typography such as sports branding, esports teams, event posters, product marks, and promotional headlines where a fast, technical tone is desired. It will perform strongest at medium-to-large sizes where the cut details and rounded-rectangle counters remain clear.
The font projects speed and impact, combining a sporty, motorsport-like stance with a slightly sci-fi, industrial edge. Its slant and cut terminals read as dynamic and assertive rather than neutral, making it feel action-oriented and contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, aerodynamic voice using superelliptical foundations and forward slanting, with strategic angled cuts to suggest motion and mechanical precision. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and branding punch over quiet, long-form readability.
The design leans on a repeating language of rounded corners plus sharp, angled cut-ins, producing a distinctive stencil-like bite in several letters and figures. At smaller sizes, the tight counters and dense weight can make shapes merge, while at display sizes the geometry and motion cues become the main feature.
