A heavy, oblique sans with broad, rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and tightly enclosed counters. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with squared-off shoulders softened by generous corner rounding. Many terminals finish in sharp, angled cuts that create a forward-driving rhythm, and several forms show purposeful notches and cut-ins (notably in S-like curves and some diagonals) that add bite to the silhouette. Spacing is compact and the overall texture is dense, while the figures and capitals maintain a sturdy, blocky presence with consistent curvature and strong horizontal massing.
Best suited to display roles where momentum and impact are desired: sports identities, motorsport or athletic graphics, bold poster headlines, product packaging, and attention-grabbing social or video titles. It works particularly well in short phrases, logos, and large typographic blocks where the angular cuts and rounded block shapes can read clearly.
The overall tone feels fast and forceful—like motion graphics, racing livery, or performance branding—while the rounded geometry keeps it from reading as purely harsh. Its angled cuts and compressed internal space suggest urgency and impact, lending a confident, competitive voice with a slightly retro, arcade-or-machinery edge.
The design appears intended to merge rounded, superelliptical geometry with aggressive, forward-leaning cuts, producing a strong sense of speed without losing the solidity of a heavy sans. The consistent massing and compact apertures prioritize visual impact and brand-like presence over delicate detail.
The slant is pronounced and the letterforms rely on large, simplified shapes, which boosts punch at display sizes but can make long text feel heavy and tightly packed. Numerals match the same blunt, speed-inspired styling and retain the font’s signature angled cut details for consistency.
