A heavy, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared corners. Letterforms are broad and compact, with tight, mostly enclosed counters and occasional stencil-like notches and slits that add sharp internal detail. Terminals are blunt and flattened, curves are controlled rather than geometric, and the overall silhouette reads as a continuous, muscular block. Spacing appears tight and headline-oriented, with a consistent rightward slant and minimal stroke modulation.
Best suited to large-scale applications where its weight and slant can communicate motion—sports identities, racing/event graphics, posters, and bold product packaging. It also works well for short UI labels or badges when set generously, but the tight counters suggest avoiding long passages or very small text.
The font projects speed and force, pairing a sporty, performance-driven attitude with a slightly retro arcade/racing flavor. The compressed counters and cut-in details create a hard-edged, competitive tone that feels loud, confident, and attention-seeking.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward-leaning stance, using superelliptical shapes and strategic internal cuts to keep large black areas from feeling flat. The goal appears to be a cohesive display face that reads as modern-industrial while nodding to classic sports and arcade aesthetics.
Several glyphs use small interior cuts (notably in bowls and joins) that increase visual bite but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same squared, oblique logic for a cohesive display set, and the overall rhythm favors impact over delicacy.
