A heavy, slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and uniform, with broad proportions and compact internal counters that read as horizontal, high-impact shapes. Many joins and terminals are cut with angled faces, creating sharp, forward-leaning edges that add speed while keeping the overall silhouette smooth. The rhythm is tight and dense, and the numerals and caps are built to maintain a consistent, poster-ready color across a line.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short bursts of text where impact and motion matter. It works well for sports branding, esports or automotive themes, entertainment posters, packaging, and promotional graphics where dense, slanted forms can project energy and strength.
The tone is energetic and competitive, combining a sporty “speed” slant with chunky, confident letterforms. Its rounded geometry keeps it friendly enough for entertainment and product contexts, while the aggressive cuts and mass give it a bold, action-oriented voice.
The likely intention is a contemporary display sans that merges superelliptical rounding with speed-driven, angular terminal cuts. It appears designed to maximize visual weight and momentum in large-scale typography while preserving clean, sans-serif simplicity.
The design favors solid silhouettes over delicate detail: bowls and counters are relatively small, and apertures tend to be more enclosed, which boosts punch at display sizes. The italic angle is pronounced and consistent, helping words form a cohesive, forward-moving stripe.
