A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, streamlined contours. Strokes are thick and consistently weighted, with smooth, oval-based bowls (notably in O, Q, and 0) and compact interior counters that amplify a dense, high-ink silhouette. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, while joins and diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) feel engineered and stable rather than calligraphic. The lowercase is sturdy and simplified, with a single-storey a and g and a generally compact, blocky rhythm that stays legible at display sizes.
Best suited for display work where impact matters: headlines, posters, signage, and bold brand moments. It also fits athletic or motorsport-inspired graphics, packaging fronts, and promotional materials where a fast, confident voice is needed. For longer passages, it reads most comfortably at larger sizes due to its dense counters and heavy texture.
The overall tone is bold and kinetic, reading as sporty and attention-forward. The italic slant and wide stance suggest speed and momentum, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive. It evokes retro athletic branding and high-energy headline typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a sense of motion: a wide, rounded sans pushed into a strong italic stance for speed and emphasis. Its simplified, compact counters and sturdy construction prioritize bold readability and a cohesive, punchy word shape in branding and display settings.
Letterforms maintain a consistent forward lean and a tight, cohesive texture in words, producing strong color and impact in continuous text. Curves are smooth and full, and the numerals match the same rounded, weighty construction for cohesive titling and numbering.
