A heavy, oblique sans with a squared, superellipse construction: corners are broadly rounded while sides remain flat, producing chunky, rounded-rectangle counters and terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with modest contrast, and joins are smoothed rather than sharp, giving the letters a molded, monolithic feel. Proportions lean wide with a tall, sturdy lowercase that stays close to the cap height, and spacing is tight enough to create strong word shapes. Numerals and uppercase follow the same block-forward geometry, emphasizing legibility through large forms and simplified interiors.
This font is well suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and team marks, and product packaging where a compact, energetic presence is helpful. It can also work for signage and labels when set at moderate-to-large sizes with slightly looser tracking to keep counters open.
The overall tone reads fast and forceful, like athletic branding and vintage motorsport lettering. Its slanted, compact massing communicates motion and impact, while the rounded corners keep it friendly rather than aggressive. The result feels bold, retro-technical, and designed to grab attention at a glance.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, motion-driven voice using rounded-rectangular geometry and a consistent oblique rhythm. It prioritizes immediate recognition and a strong silhouette over delicate detail, aiming for a branded, display-first personality.
Counters tend to be small and rectangular, so the design holds up best when given enough size or breathing room. The oblique slant and dense weight create strong texture in paragraphs, making it more suited to display than extended reading.
