A heavy, right-leaning oblique sans with rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) construction and a tightly controlled, compact rhythm. Strokes are thick and steady with softened corners, while counters are small and often squared-off, creating a dense, high-impact texture. Many letters show angled entry/exit cuts and subtly sheared terminals that reinforce forward motion, and the overall forms feel slightly condensed in their internal space without becoming narrow. Numerals echo the same solid, streamlined build with minimal apertures and a uniform, punchy silhouette.
Best suited for display uses where impact and motion are desired: sports identities, team merchandise, motorsport-inspired graphics, event posters, and bold headline systems. It also works well on packaging and promotional layouts where short phrases need to feel energetic and substantial.
The font reads fast and forceful, with a sporty, performance-minded tone. Its rounded but muscular shapes suggest retro motorsport and athletic branding, balancing friendliness from the curves with authority from the weight and compact counters.
The design appears intended to deliver a streamlined, speed-oriented display voice built from rounded rectangular forms, pairing a bold presence with an aerodynamic slant. It prioritizes strong silhouettes, consistent geometry, and an energetic rhythm for branding-forward typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent superelliptic geometry, and the oblique angle is strong enough to signal motion even in short words. The heavy weight and tight counters can reduce clarity in long passages at small sizes, but the style holds together well in large, high-contrast settings.
