A heavy, forward-slanted sans with extended proportions and a squared-round (superellipse) construction. Counters and outer shapes lean on rounded-rectangle geometry, producing smooth corners with crisp, flattened terminals. Strokes maintain a consistent thickness, while joins and cut-ins create angular tension—especially in diagonals and curved-to-straight transitions. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with short, sturdy ascenders/descenders and broadly open shapes that keep the texture bold and continuous in setting. Numerals follow the same rounded-square logic, with prominent horizontal bases and oblique stress that reinforces motion.
Best suited for high-impact display work such as sports identities, racing or action-themed graphics, promotional posters, and bold headlines. It also fits product packaging or UI moments that need an energetic, techy voice, especially at medium to large sizes where its squared-round detailing stays clear.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and performance-oriented, evoking motorsport graphics, athletic branding, and tech-forward interfaces. Its slant and blocky curves communicate urgency and speed, while the softened corners keep it approachable enough for contemporary commercial use.
The font appears designed to merge geometric rounded-rectangle forms with a strong oblique stance for a sense of speed and power. Its consistent stroke weight and tightened, impactful silhouettes suggest an intention toward confident branding and attention-grabbing display typography rather than quiet, long-form reading.
The design emphasizes horizontal momentum: many glyphs appear to “push” forward via angled shoulders, sheared terminals, and flattened curves. Spacing reads on the tight side in text, which amplifies impact and creates a dense, headline-ready rhythm.
