A heavy, slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly squared counters. Strokes are uniform and dense, with large internal openings kept under control by softly clipped corners and smooth curves. Terminals tend to be flat and cut cleanly, and the italic angle gives the letterforms a forward-leaning, accelerated rhythm. Uppercase shapes feel compact and sturdy, while lowercase forms keep a utilitarian, slightly condensed feel that holds together tightly in words.
Best suited to short, high-impact text: headlines, display typography, branding marks, and poster-style layouts where the slant and dense weight can carry the composition. It also fits sports and motorsport-style graphics, product packaging, and bold UI moments such as hero banners or navigation labels when set with ample spacing.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, performance-minded voice. Its blunt geometry and forward slant read as direct and functional, suggesting speed, strength, and impact rather than delicacy or warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual force with a streamlined, geometric construction. By combining blunt, rounded-rectangle forms with a strong italic posture, it prioritizes speed, legibility at display sizes, and a cohesive, athletic texture.
Round letters (like O/Q) stay squarish with softened corners, reinforcing a superelliptical look. Diagonals in letters like A, K, V, W, X, and Z are strongly emphasized, and the numerals share the same blocky, rounded-corner logic for a consistent, system-like texture.
