A heavy, right-leaning sans with broad, compact letterforms and rounded-rectangle construction in bowls and counters. Strokes are largely monolinear with subtly softened corners, while terminals tend to be cut on an angle to reinforce the forward motion. Curves are squarish rather than circular, giving forms like O, C, and D a superelliptical, engineered feel. Spacing is tight and the overall texture is dense, with sturdy numerals and simplified shapes that prioritize bold silhouette over interior detail.
Best suited to large-size applications where impact matters: headlines, posters, event graphics, sports and esports identities, and bold packaging or label work. It can also work for short UI or signage callouts when an energetic, high-contrast presence is desired, but it is most effective in brief phrases rather than dense reading.
The tone is fast, forceful, and contemporary, evoking sports graphics, motorsport styling, and high-energy branding. Its pronounced slant and chunky silhouettes convey momentum and assertiveness, making text feel urgent and attention-grabbing.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum punch with a streamlined, modern construction—pairing rounded-rectangle geometry with forward-leaning italic posture to create a fast, athletic voice. It prioritizes bold silhouette clarity and a strong rhythm for display typography and brand-led messaging.
In longer settings the dark color and close spacing create a strong headline stripe, while the angled cuts and squared curves keep the rhythm crisp and mechanical. The lowercase maintains the same muscular stance as the uppercase, helping mixed-case lines stay uniform and emphatic.
