A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded, elliptical construction and firmly cut terminals. Strokes read as low-contrast and consistently thick, with a compact, aerodynamic feel created by the oblique stress and slightly tightened apertures. Curves are smooth and sturdy (notably in C/O/S), while diagonals and joins are crisp, giving letters a fast, forward-leaning rhythm. Figures are similarly robust and rounded, with clear, simple silhouettes that match the letterforms.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of copy where the forward slant can add momentum—posters, sports and motorsport-style branding, apparel graphics, packaging callouts, and impactful signage. It can work for subheads and short promotional lines, especially when you want a compact, forceful presence.
The overall tone is energetic and performance-oriented, evoking motion and speed. Its strong massing and oblique stance feel confident and attention-grabbing, with a mild retro flavor reminiscent of athletic and industrial graphics.
This design appears aimed at delivering a fast, assertive sans voice: strong black shapes, smooth rounded geometry, and an emphatic slant that communicates motion and modern punch while staying clean and straightforward.
The slant is pronounced enough to read as intentional display styling rather than incidental emphasis, and the bold shapes hold together well at larger sizes. Open counters remain legible, but the weight and tight inner spaces suggest careful use at smaller sizes or in dense paragraphs.
