A heavy, oblique sans with broad, superelliptical shapes and rounded-rectangle curves. Strokes are thick and uniform, with tight internal counters and shallow apertures that keep letters feeling compact and dense. Terminals are mostly blunt with subtle rounding, and several joins show small ink-trap-like notches or cut-ins that sharpen the silhouettes at display sizes. Uppercase forms are wide and stable, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward build with a single-storey a and g, producing an even, blocky texture in text.
Best used in short, high-impact settings such as headlines, sports identities, posters, event graphics, and bold packaging. It can also work for signage or UI moments where emphasis is needed, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing to prevent counters from clogging at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is fast, loud, and confident, evoking motorsport and athletic branding. Its slanted stance and chunky massing convey forward motion and urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps the voice friendly rather than aggressive. The result feels both retro and contemporary—suited to bold, attention-grabbing statements.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sense of speed: a dense, rounded, oblique display sans that stays cohesive across letters and numerals. The cut-in details and compact counters suggest attention to keeping forms distinct while preserving a strongly unified, blocky silhouette.
Spacing appears intentionally tight, and the heavy weight pushes legibility toward headline use rather than long reading. Numerals match the letterforms’ squat, solid construction, maintaining the same rounded corners and strong, poster-like presence. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a unified rhythm.
