A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, slightly squared curves and a strong forward lean. Strokes are thick and even, with smooth joins and compact internal counters that keep the texture dense. The proportions run on the broad side with sturdy, blocky silhouettes and subtly softened corners, producing a solid, high-impact rhythm in both caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same robust build, with simplified, filled-in forms that read best at medium-to-large sizes.
Best suited to display typography where impact matters—headlines, posters, product packaging, and brand marks that need a forceful, fast-moving voice. It also fits sports and motorsport-inspired graphics, as well as promotional layouts that rely on bold typographic emphasis.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a distinctly sporty, retro-leaning feel. Its slanted stance and chunky shapes suggest motion and emphasis, making it feel bold and attention-seeking rather than quiet or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a sense of speed, combining thick, rounded sans forms with an oblique angle to create a dynamic, attention-grabbing display style.
Round letters tend toward oval bowls and tight apertures, while diagonals and terminals keep a blunt, clipped finish that reinforces the compact, muscular look. In paragraph settings the weight creates a strong typographic color, so spacing and line length benefit from generous margins or larger leading.
