A heavy, forward-slanted sans with compact, superelliptic shapes and prominently rounded corners. Strokes are broadly uniform with squared-off terminals that often finish on a diagonal, creating a fast, directional rhythm. Counters are tight and rectangular-oval, and several joins show small ink-trap-like notches that sharpen interior corners and improve separation at bold sizes. The lowercase is sturdy and utilitarian, with simple single-storey forms (notably the “a”) and short, clipped apertures that keep the texture dense and punchy.
Best suited for high-impact display work such as sports identities, event posters, product packaging, and apparel graphics where bold, slanted letterforms help convey speed and intensity. It also fits tech-forward or industrial-themed branding and UI headlines when used at larger sizes with generous line spacing.
The overall tone is loud, kinetic, and performance-oriented, evoking motorsport, athletics, and high-impact promotional graphics. Its slant and blocky geometry give it a confident, assertive voice with a contemporary, industrial edge.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual punch and motion through a strong oblique stance, compact superelliptic geometry, and robust, uniform strokes. The rounded corners and interior notches suggest an intent to keep forms clean and distinctive in heavy weights, especially in short, emphatic headline phrases.
The numerals and uppercase maintain a consistent, engineered feel, with rounded-rectangle bowls and oblique cuts that unify the set. Spacing appears tuned for strong headline color rather than airy readability, and the dense interior shapes reward larger sizes where the ink-trap details and counters remain clearly resolved.
