A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and a fast, forward-leaning rhythm. Strokes show pronounced contrast between dominant verticals and lighter joins, with broadly rounded outer corners and squared-off terminals that keep counters tight and sturdy. Curves are built from squarish ovals rather than perfect circles, giving letters like O/C/G a slightly engineered, track-signage feel. A subtle distressed/abraded texture appears across many glyphs, adding a worn print character without breaking the letterforms.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports or motorsport-style branding, and bold packaging callouts. It also fits apparel graphics and promotional materials where the slant and distressed finish can convey motion and toughness. For longer passages, it will be more effective at larger sizes where the counters and texture remain clear.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a speed-and-impact attitude typical of athletic or action-forward branding. The slant and tight spacing cues urgency and motion, while the lightly weathered surface brings a gritty, utilitarian edge that can read as vintage performance or rugged modernity depending on context.
Designed to deliver a strong, kinetic sans voice with an engineered geometry and a slightly worn surface, aiming for maximum impact and a sense of speed. The tight, squared curves and high-contrast stroke behavior prioritize bold presence and brandable silhouettes over quiet neutrality.
Uppercase forms are blocky and stable, while lowercase keeps the same compact, mechanical construction and maintains strong color in text. Numerals match the sturdiness of the letters, with rounded rectangles and firm terminals that stay legible at display sizes. The texture is consistent enough to feel intentional, like ink wear or screenprint distress.
