A slanted, rounded sans with heavy outer contours and multiple parallel inline channels that create a layered, stripe-like interior. Corners are broadly curved, counters are open and geometric, and terminals tend to be squared-off but softened by the rounding. Proportions read as expanded with a tall x-height, producing a compact vertical rhythm and strong horizontal presence. The consistent line spacing of the inlines and the uniform stroke treatment give the face a smooth, engineered feel across letters and numerals.
Best suited to short display settings where the inline striping can read clearly—headlines, posters, packaging callouts, team or motorsport-inspired branding, and energetic event graphics. It can work for short bursts of text in large sizes, but the strong internal striping is most effective when not set too small or too dense.
The repeated inline bands and forward slant evoke speed and motion, with a distinctly retro-futurist flavor reminiscent of racing graphics and late-20th-century display typography. It feels energetic and attention-seeking rather than quiet or literary, leaning into a bold, optimistic “tech/sport” attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, graphic presence by combining a forward-leaning skeleton with rounded, expanded forms and a distinctive multi-inline treatment. The goal is likely maximum visual signature and motion cues for contemporary-retro display applications.
The multi-stripe inlines are prominent enough to become the primary texture at text sizes, producing a shimmering, high-impact effect that benefits from generous spacing and clean backgrounds. Numerals and uppercase forms maintain the same rounded, expanded geometry, supporting cohesive headline systems.
