A heavy, oblique sans with extended proportions and a superelliptical construction: strokes are built from rounded rectangles with softened corners and squared-off counters. Curves tend to resolve into flattened terminals, giving letters a compact, machined feel despite the rounded geometry. Joins are sturdy and closed, with minimal interior whitespace in many glyphs, and the overall silhouette reads as dense and monolithic. Numerals and lowercase follow the same squared-round logic, keeping a consistent, modular rhythm across the set.
Best suited for display applications where impact and motion are desired—sports identities, racing or motorsport graphics, esports and gaming titles, tech or industrial event posters, and bold packaging callouts. It will be most effective at larger sizes and shorter text runs, where its dense forms and angular rhythm can read crisply.
The typeface conveys speed and impact, pairing a sporty slant with robust, engineered forms. Its rounded-square shapes and tight counters suggest a techno or automotive tone, leaning assertive and high-energy rather than friendly or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-performance, contemporary voice by combining forward slant, extended width, and rounded-square construction. Its consistent superelliptical geometry and compact counters prioritize punchy headline presence and a sleek, engineered aesthetic.
Round dots on i/j and the consistent corner radiusing help unify the texture, while the oblique angle and broad stance create a forward-leaning, momentum-driven line. The sturdiness of the shapes favors large sizes, where the internal cutouts and squared curves remain clearly legible.
