A heavy, right-leaning sans with extended proportions and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Strokes are thick and smooth with subtly softened corners, producing a clean, engineered look rather than a calligraphic one. Curves are broad and controlled, counters are roomy for the weight, and terminals are largely blunt with gentle rounding. The overall rhythm is wide and steady, with a forward slant that adds motion while maintaining crisp, high-contrast silhouette clarity at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications where width and slant can amplify impact: headlines, brand marks, campaign graphics, sports and motorsport-themed design, packaging, and punchy UI moments like hero banners or section titles. It can work for short callouts and subheads, but its extended footprint favors generous spacing and larger sizes.
The font communicates speed and confidence, combining a sporty, performance feel with a sleek, contemporary edge. Its wide stance and oblique posture give it an energetic, “in-motion” tone that reads as modern and purposeful rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a modern, aerodynamic aesthetic—pairing wide geometry and rounded-rectangular curves with an oblique stance to suggest speed, power, and contemporary technology.
Many letters emphasize horizontal spread and low visual friction—rounded corners, open apertures, and simplified joins keep forms legible despite the heavy weight. Numerals follow the same streamlined logic, with large, rounded bowls and stable baselines that suit headline-driven layouts.
