A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and compact counters. The letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with softened corners and flattened curves that keep the silhouettes chunky and stable. Strokes stay largely uniform, while strategic cut-ins and notches at joins and terminals create ink-trap-like apertures and prevent shapes from clogging at display sizes. Curves (notably in C, G, O, S, and 0) read as squared-off superellipses, and diagonal strokes are clean and steep, reinforcing a streamlined, forward-leaning rhythm.
Works best in short, high-impact text such as sports identities, event posters, product packaging, and punchy editorial headlines. It can also support UI or app title treatments where a bold, energetic voice is desired, but it is primarily optimized for display-sized typography rather than extended reading.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and contemporary, with a motorsport or athletic energy. Its squared-round construction and engineered notches add a technical, industrial edge that feels suited to performance branding and bold messaging rather than delicate or literary settings.
The design appears intended to combine speed and strength with a controlled, engineered silhouette. By pairing rounded-rectangle bowls with cut-in joins, it aims for a distinctive, high-performance look that stays legible and crisp under heavy weight and tight spacing.
The caps and figures share consistent width and weight, producing a strong, poster-like texture. The slant is pronounced enough to signal motion, while the rounded corners keep the voice friendly compared to sharp, purely mechanical grotesks. The distinctive notched joins and squared bowls become a key identifying detail in headlines and logos.
