A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded bowls and brisk, angled terminals that create a fast, forward-leaning silhouette. Strokes stay largely monolinear, with smooth curves contrasted by sharp shears on ends and joins, giving many letters a slightly aerodynamic, cutaway feel. Proportions run broad and low, with compact interior counters and a generally low rise in the lowercase, while capitals feel sturdy and extended. The overall rhythm is tight and punchy, reading as a unified, italicized display style rather than a text-oriented sans.
Best suited to display sizes where its slant, weight, and cut terminals can project impact—sports identities, event posters, action-themed packaging, and bold headlines. It also works well for short wordmarks and merchandise graphics where a sense of speed and attitude is desired.
The tone is energetic and performance-driven, with a distinctly retro flavor reminiscent of speed lettering and sports branding. Its strong slant and sharp cuts convey motion, urgency, and confidence, while the rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, kinetic sans voice: wide, condensed-in-height letterforms paired with consistent slant and sharp terminal cuts to suggest motion and modern energy in branding and titling contexts.
Diagonal strokes and terminals are a defining motif across both cases, helping maintain consistent momentum in words. Numerals match the same forward slant and bold presence, making mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive.
