A heavy, slanted sans with wide, low-contrast strokes and broadly rounded corners. The forms are built from chunky, geometric curves and straight segments, producing a compact, forward-leaning silhouette. Counters are relatively open for the weight, with simplified interior shapes in letters like a, e, and g, and an overall rhythm that emphasizes speed through angled terminals and consistent oblique stress. Figures are sturdy and wide, matching the letterforms in mass and stance.
This face works best where impact and motion are desired: sports identities, team or event graphics, promotional headlines, and bold poster typography. It can also serve for short UI or product headings where a strong, energetic voice is appropriate, while extended text blocks may feel dense due to the weight and width.
The tone is fast, forceful, and athletic, with a clear sense of motion created by the strong slant and compressed detailing. It reads as confident and attention-seeking, suited to energetic messaging rather than quiet, editorial refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a streamlined, contemporary sans structure, pairing broad proportions with a strong forward slant to evoke speed and competitiveness. Its rounded geometry and simplified counters suggest a focus on bold legibility at large sizes and a distinctive, sporty texture.
Uppercase shapes are especially broad and stable, while lowercase retains a simple, single-storey feel in key characters, keeping texture bold and uninterrupted. The slant is pronounced enough to feel intentionally “racing” rather than mildly italic, and the heavy strokes benefit from generous spacing in display settings.
