A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Strokes are thick and consistent, with softened corners and broad, flat terminals that create a strong, blocky silhouette. Many glyphs incorporate angled cuts and small internal notches that add speed and texture without introducing true contrast. Counters tend to be tight and geometric, and the overall rhythm is dense and forward-leaning, emphasizing impact over airiness.
Best suited for display typography where the bold, slanted forms can project motion—sports identities, team merchandise, event posters, and high-impact headlines. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when large enough to preserve the tight counters and distinctive cuts.
The tone is energetic and forceful, with a racing/sport sensibility driven by the italic slant and chiseled details. It reads as confident and contemporary, suited to messages that need urgency and punch rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a fast, athletic slant, combining rounded-rectangular geometry with strategic cut-ins to suggest speed and toughness. It prioritizes a cohesive, logo-ready texture across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
The inline cuts and corner shaping produce a slightly technical, engineered feel, while the rounded geometry keeps the weight from feeling harsh. Numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, sign-like solidity, and the lowercase remains sturdy and compact at display sizes.
