A heavy, oblique sans with broad, rounded-rectangle construction and squared-off curves. Forms are built from chunky strokes with tight internal counters and crisp, angular cut-ins that create a forward-leaning, speed-driven rhythm. Rounds (like O and 0) read as squarish superellipses, while many joins and terminals are sheared, producing sharp corners and wedge-like notches. Overall spacing feels compact and assertive, prioritizing impact and silhouette clarity over open apertures.
Best suited to sports branding, esports or motorsport graphics, and other contexts where a sense of speed and strength is desirable. It performs well in headlines, titles, posters, and impactful packaging or labels, especially when set large. For extended reading or small UI text, its compact counters and strong slant may reduce comfort and clarity.
The tone is fast, forceful, and performance-oriented, with a distinctly sporty, race-inspired feel. Its slanted stance and chiseled details suggest motion and urgency, while the rounded-block geometry keeps it modern and industrial rather than calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, motion-forward display voice using rounded-rectangular letterforms and aggressive, angled detailing. It aims to balance modern geometric construction with a distinctly athletic, high-energy personality for attention-grabbing typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, engineered geometry, and numerals follow the same squared-round logic with bold, high-contrast silhouettes at display sizes. The dense counters and tight openings can make longer text feel heavy, but they enhance the font’s punch in short settings.
