A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and broad, low-contrast strokes. Curves and counters lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry, giving letters a superelliptical, tightly engineered look. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, with softened corners; apertures are relatively closed, and interior spaces stay sturdy rather than delicate. Overall spacing and rhythm are dense and forward-leaning, prioritizing impact and momentum over airy refinement.
Best suited to display roles where strong presence is required: sports identities, event promotions, poster headlines, and bold packaging or apparel graphics. It also works well for short UI labels or navigation in contexts that benefit from a fast, energetic voice, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The tone is energetic and forceful, with a distinctly athletic, motorsport-adjacent feel. Its slanted stance and thick massing convey speed and urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps it contemporary rather than aggressive or sharp. The result reads as confident, promotional, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, combining a forward slant with rounded-rectangular geometry for a streamlined, speed-oriented voice. It emphasizes solidity and consistency across letters and figures for branding and headline use where immediacy matters.
Uppercase forms appear uniform and blocky, while lowercase maintains the same dense, oblique rhythm with single-storey constructions where applicable. Numerals are equally heavy and compact, designed to hold up in bold, high-contrast layouts. At smaller sizes the tight counters may reduce clarity, but at display sizes the shapes stay cohesive and punchy.
