A condensed, forward-slanted sans with heavy, blocky construction and softly rounded outer corners. Strokes are monolinear in feel, with an internal inline cut that follows the letterforms and creates a layered, speed-stripe effect. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular/rounded-rect, with squared terminals and consistent, engineered geometry across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with a pronounced rightward lean and compact spacing that emphasizes a streamlined silhouette.
Best suited to display typography where impact and motion are desired: sports branding, team graphics, event posters, merchandise, packaging, and bold editorial headlines. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when set large enough for the inline detail to read cleanly.
The face reads fast and athletic, channeling track-side graphics, racing decals, and bold headlines. Its inset linework adds a sense of motion and attitude, giving it a punchy, high-impact tone that feels both retro-inspired and performance-driven.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-energy display voice, using a consistent internal inline to suggest speed, layering, and visual depth while keeping the underlying forms simple and sturdy for strong recognition.
The inline detail is thick enough to remain legible at display sizes while still clearly carving the strokes, producing a dimensional, sign-paint-like presence without relying on contrast. Numerals and capitals share the same squared, condensed stance, helping mixed alphanumeric settings look uniform and purpose-built.
