A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and compact counters. Strokes are consistently thick with subtly tapered joins and rounded bowls, giving the forms a smooth, engineered feel rather than a geometric-perfect one. Terminals are mostly blunt and slightly angled, and the overall rhythm favors strong diagonals (notably in A, K, V, W, X, Y) and large, simple interior shapes. Numerals match the letterforms with sturdy curves and minimal detailing for maximum solidity.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and prominent branding where impact and speed are priorities. It works well for sports and automotive-themed graphics, promotional campaigns, packaging callouts, and short editorial display lines. For longer passages, it is most effective when given generous size and spacing.
The tone is fast and forceful, combining a sporty, forward-leaning momentum with a slightly retro display attitude. Its dense color and rounded massing feel confident and attention-grabbing, suited to messaging that wants to sound bold, direct, and energetic.
The design appears intended as a high-impact italic display sans that stays clean and uncomplicated while projecting motion and strength. It prioritizes bold silhouette recognition and a cohesive, rounded-industrial texture for attention-focused typography.
In text, the slant and heavy weight create a continuous, italic-driven flow that reads best at larger sizes where counters and apertures have room to open up. The lowercase includes single-storey forms and sturdy descenders, keeping the texture consistent and strongly unified across lines.
