A heavy, right-slanted display sans with extreme thick–thin modulation and a distinctly “cut” construction. Strokes are broad and wedge-like through the main masses, then taper sharply into hairline joins and terminals, producing crisp, blade-like edges and frequent diagonal slicing. The letterforms are expansive and low, with wide oval bowls and flattened horizontals; counters are small and often pinched by the contrast. Several glyphs show stylized joins and cross-strokes that read as sharp notches or speed lines, creating a dynamic, engineered rhythm across words.
Best suited to large-scale applications such as headlines, posters, event graphics, sports branding, and logo-style wordmarks where its sharp contrast and slanted momentum can carry the composition. It can also work for packaging or product identities that want a high-energy, engineered look, especially when set with generous size and careful tracking.
The overall tone is fast, loud, and performance-driven—more like a racing decal or action title than a neutral text face. The sharp tapers and slanted stance suggest motion and competitiveness, while the glossy thick–thin transitions add a dramatic, high-impact feel.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through speed-themed slant, aggressive angular cuts, and dramatic contrast, prioritizing distinctive silhouettes and motion cues for display typography.
In text settings the strong contrast and tight internal spaces create dense, dark word shapes with lively sparkle from the hairlines. Spacing appears deliberately display-oriented, with distinctive silhouettes that emphasize branding over prolonged readability at small sizes.
