A heavy, right-slanted sans with uniform stroke weight and a strong, compact silhouette. The forms are built from broad curves and straight, slightly angled strokes, with blunt terminals and subtly softened corners that keep the texture from feeling sharp. Counters are relatively tight in letters like B, P, R, and 8, and the numerals are large and sturdy with simple, blocky construction. Overall spacing is even and mechanical, producing a consistent, rhythmic grid-like color in text.
This style works best for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and motorsport-style branding, and bold packaging statements. It can also serve in interface labeling or navigation where a strong, slanted emphasis is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes where its compact counters remain clear.
The tone is energetic and forward-leaning, combining a utilitarian, engineered feel with a sporty headline punch. Its slant and dense weight suggest motion and urgency, while the clean, rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than aggressive. The result reads as modern with a hint of retro display styling.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, forceful sans voice with consistent rhythm and a simple construction that holds together under heavy weight. The slanted stance and compact internal spaces prioritize impact and momentum, making it suited to branding and display typography where immediacy matters.
Curves are noticeably broad and circular in C, G, O, and Q, contrasted by angular joins in K, V, W, and X that reinforce a dynamic texture. Lowercase shapes are compact and sturdy, with a single-storey a and g contributing to a simplified, industrial voice. The overall color is dark and uniform, so small sizes may appear dense, while larger sizes emphasize its strong graphic presence.
