A heavy, right-slanted display face with compact inner spaces and strongly sculpted curves. The letterforms are built from broad, rounded strokes with pinched joins and teardrop-like terminals that create a crisp, aerodynamic silhouette. Curves are smooth and elliptical, while diagonals and cross-strokes are sharpened into wedge-like cuts, giving the set a lively rhythm. Numerals follow the same forward-leaning, rounded construction, staying dense and impactful.
Best suited to large-scale use such as headlines, posters, sports and motorsport-style branding, packaging callouts, and logo marks where the forward motion and mass can carry. It can work for short subheads or emphatic pull quotes, but the compact counters and strong slant make it less ideal for extended reading at smaller sizes.
The overall tone reads energetic and speed-driven, with a sporty, promotional character. Its slant and tapered details evoke motion and confidence, leaning toward a vintage advertising feel while still looking bold and contemporary in short bursts.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sense of motion—combining rounded, sans-based construction with tapered cuts to suggest speed and emphasis. It prioritizes recognizable, high-energy silhouettes for display typography.
In text, the tight counters and dense forms increase visual weight quickly, making spacing and line length important for comfort. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping it feel cohesive in large settings and logo-style compositions.
