A slanted, extended sans with a streamlined, forward-leaning silhouette. The letters show pronounced stroke modulation, with thick main strokes and noticeably thinner joins and diagonals, creating a crisp, high-energy rhythm. Curves are broad and smooth (notably in C, O, Q, and the bowls), while many horizontals and terminals are sheared into wedge-like cuts that emphasize motion. Counters are relatively open for the width, and the overall construction feels aerodynamic rather than geometric, balancing rounded forms with sharp, directional finishing.
Best suited for display typography where a fast, technical tone is desired—sports identities, motorsport or automotive graphics, gaming and tech promos, and punchy poster headlines. It can also work for short, high-impact wordmarks and packaging callouts, where its width and slant have room to breathe.
The font conveys speed and impact—confident, competitive, and slightly futuristic. Its oblique stance and sharpened terminals suggest motion and performance, giving text a bold, assertive voice suited to high-intensity branding and display settings.
Designed to project speed and modernity through an extended, oblique structure, sharpened terminals, and deliberate stroke modulation. The overall intent reads as a performance-driven display sans that prioritizes presence and momentum over neutrality.
The numerals and rounded letters lean heavily on elliptical forms, reinforcing the extended, racing-inspired texture. Diagonal-heavy characters (like N, V, W, X, Y, and Z) amplify the sense of thrust, and the contrast in stroke thickness adds a crisp, engineered feel at larger sizes.
