A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and tightly controlled geometry. Strokes are blocky with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves, giving counters and terminals a softened, squarish feel rather than true circles. The italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and many joins and terminals show small cut-ins that read like ink-trap-inspired notches, helping openings stay clear at weight. The lowercase has a large x-height and compact ascenders/descenders, while numerals are wide and sturdy with simplified, aerodynamic shapes.
Well-suited to sports identities, motorsport or automotive graphics, and punchy headlines where motion and impact are desired. It also works for posters, apparel, and bold packaging where short phrases, team names, or product marks need to feel energetic and robust.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and performance-oriented—more “race stripe” than editorial. Its squat, rounded geometry and purposeful slant suggest speed, machinery, and competitive energy, with a mild retro-futurist flavor.
The design appears aimed at delivering a high-impact, speed-driven voice using a rounded-rect geometric skeleton and consistent oblique construction. The cut-in details and broad proportions seem intended to preserve legibility and clarity while maintaining a dense, muscular presence in display typography.
Wide, open forms and squared rounding create a strong horizontal rhythm, while the notched joins add texture and help keep counters from clogging. The boldness and slant make it happiest at display sizes, where the angular cuts and softened corners read as intentional styling rather than texture noise.
