A forward-leaning, heavy sans with sharply cut terminals and a pronounced sheared construction. Strokes are thick and confident with visible contrast created by angled joins and tapered cuts, producing a chiseled, faceted look rather than smooth geometric rounds. Counters tend to be compact and partially squared off, while curves (notably in C, G, O, S) are tightened and “bitten” by angled edges. The overall rhythm is brisk and slightly compressed in feel, with sturdy verticals and energetic diagonals that give the forms a carved, racing-signage character.
Best suited to display roles where speed and impact are desirable: sports identities, team or event graphics, posters, headlines, and bold packaging callouts. It can work for short subheads or emphatic pull quotes, but extended paragraphs may feel heavy and visually busy due to the dense texture and sharp detailing.
The tone is fast and forceful, reading as sporty and assertive with a touch of retro display flair. Its slanted posture and sharp, engineered details suggest motion, competition, and impact—more suited to grabbing attention than staying neutral.
Likely designed to deliver a sense of motion and strength through a consistent italic slant, angular carving, and sturdy, high-contrast cuts. The intention appears to be a contemporary display sans that nods to retro athletic and automotive lettering while remaining cohesive across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Uppercase shows strong, logo-like silhouettes, while the lowercase maintains the same sheared logic with compact bowls and angular shoulders. Numerals follow the same cut-terminal language, keeping a cohesive, high-impact texture across mixed text. In longer setting the heavy weight and tight counters create a dense color, making it most effective when given space and used at larger sizes.
