A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and a strong forward slant. Strokes are broad and fairly even, with softened corners and rounded, superellipse-like curves that keep counters smooth but relatively tight. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, giving the letters a cut, engineered finish. The overall rhythm is dense and punchy, with sturdy verticals and simplified joins that maintain clarity at large sizes.
Best suited to display settings where forceful emphasis is needed, such as headlines, event posters, sports or motorsport-style branding, and promotional graphics. It can also work on packaging and labels that benefit from a bold, energetic voice, especially in short phrases or large-scale type.
The typeface projects speed and pressure—athletic, assertive, and built for impact. Its forward-leaning posture and thick silhouettes suggest motion and competitiveness, while the rounded geometry adds a modern, streamlined feel rather than a rough or distressed tone.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward-leaning stance while keeping shapes clean and geometric. Rounded-rectangle curves and blunt terminals balance aggression with a polished, contemporary finish for bold branding applications.
Uppercase forms read particularly strong and uniform, while lowercase retains the same muscular structure with compact counters and minimal modulation. Numerals match the lettering’s mass and slant, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive and signage-ready.
