A heavy, right-slanted sans with a distinctly engineered, block-cut construction. Strokes are broad with noticeable internal thinning and carved apertures that create a crisp, high-impact silhouette. Corners tend toward sharp, wedge-like terminals, while curves are flattened into rounded-rectangle forms, producing a muscular, aerodynamic rhythm. Counters are compact and often notched, and the figures share the same streamlined geometry for a consistent, fast-looking texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, sports or automotive identity work, event posters, and bold product packaging. It can also work for wordmarks and badges where its slanted, cut-in details can be used as a distinctive brand motif.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and competitive, evoking motorsport and athletic branding. Its italicized stance and cut-in details read as purposeful and mechanical, giving headlines an assertive, forward-driving feel with a touch of retro display energy.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a streamlined, motion-forward stance. The carved counters and wedge terminals suggest an intention to feel engineered and fast, prioritizing a strong silhouette and energetic texture for display typography.
The design’s small apertures and tight counters emphasize mass and momentum over open readability, especially in smaller sizes. The repeated notch/ink-trap-like cutouts become a signature texture in continuous text, adding a technical, customized look to otherwise simple sans forms.
