A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction in bowls and counters. Strokes stay broadly uniform, with sheared terminals and angular joins that give the forms a cut, aerodynamic look. The uppercase is tall and tightly fit, while the lowercase maintains a large footprint with broad curves and small internal counters; the overall rhythm feels dense and forward-leaning. Numerals match the same sturdy, rounded geometry and maintain strong silhouette clarity at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports or motorsport-style branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can work for signage and labels where strong silhouettes matter, but it will be most effective when given generous size and spacing to preserve interior clarity.
The design reads fast and forceful, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests motion and impact. Its dense black texture and compressed width create a confident, attention-grabbing tone that feels at home in competitive, energetic, or performance-driven branding.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact width, combining rounded-rectangle geometry with a strong slant to communicate speed and momentum. Its consistent, heavy stroke treatment prioritizes immediate recognizability and a cohesive, display-oriented texture.
Counters can close up quickly in smaller sizes due to the thick strokes and tight apertures, and the slant amplifies the sense of speed. The forms balance roundness in curves with crisp, sliced terminals, producing a consistent, engineered feel across letters and figures.
