A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, aerodynamic letterforms. Strokes are smooth and largely monolinear with gently tapered joins, producing a streamlined, engineered look rather than a calligraphic one. Counters are compact and apertures stay relatively tight at this weight, while curves (C, O, S) remain clean and stable. The overall rhythm is punchy and uniform, with a clear forward lean that reinforces motion and emphasis.
Best suited to high-impact display settings such as headlines, posters, sports or motorsport identities, team or event branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short UI labels or hero text where strong emphasis and quick recognition matter more than long-form readability.
The font projects speed and impact—confident, energetic, and promotional in tone. Its bold, forward-leaning stance reads as sporty and action-oriented, with a mild retro display flavor reminiscent of racing and athletic branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, assertive sans voice for attention-grabbing typography. Its wide stance, rounded construction, and consistent slant suggest a focus on branding and display use where motion, strength, and immediacy are key.
Round glyphs stay slightly squashed and wide, and diagonals in letters like N, V, W, X and Z feel crisp and intentional. Numerals follow the same chunky, slanted construction, keeping a consistent, headline-first voice across alphanumerics.
