A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and strongly sheared geometry. Strokes are smooth and rounded at joins, with noticeable modulation that creates a swollen, aerodynamic feel rather than a purely monoline build. Counters are tight and often horizontally stretched, and many forms show forward-leaning terminals and angled cuts that emphasize motion. The overall texture is dense and dark, with a compact rhythm in lowercase despite the wide set.
Best suited to large sizes where the dense weight and angled momentum can do the work: posters, sports/event titling, product packaging, and punchy brand marks. It can also serve for short bursts of display copy, but the tight counters and heavy color make it less comfortable for long-form text.
The tone is fast, loud, and confident—closer to motorsport, arcade, or headline athletics than sober editorial work. Its forward slant and bulbous contrast add a slightly cartoonish swagger, making it feel energetic and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to project speed and impact through a consistent forward shear, rounded massing, and contrast-driven flare—delivering a bold, motion-oriented display voice that remains cleanly sans in structure.
Uppercase forms read as sturdy, simplified silhouettes, while the lowercase introduces more distinctive shapes (notably the single-storey a and g) that increase personality. Numerals are similarly weighty and slanted, matching the bold, kinetic texture in running text.
