A slanted, high-contrast display sans with sharply sheared terminals and tightly controlled curves. Strokes switch quickly between thick, ink-trap-free stems and hairline connections, producing a punchy, glossy rhythm. Forms lean forward with a streamlined, slightly compressed feel in the bowls and counters, while diagonals and joins are cut with crisp, knife-like angles. Numerals and capitals read especially strong, with an overall emphasis on speed and surface sheen over texty softness.
Best for headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where impact matters—sports and motorsport identities, event graphics, promotional banners, and bold packaging. It can also work for wordmarks or product naming where a fast, aggressive texture is desirable.
The tone is energetic and competitive, evoking motorsport, athletic branding, and late-20th-century headline styling. Its dramatic contrast and forward slant give it a confident, urgent voice suited to attention-grabbing messaging rather than quiet reading.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum punch through contrast and forward motion, combining a clean sans skeleton with sharply cut, italicized display details. The goal seems to be a sleek, performance-oriented look that reads quickly and stands out at a distance.
The design relies on dramatic thick–thin transitions and sharp joins, so spacing and color feel best at larger sizes where the hairlines can stay visible. The slant and pointed terminals create a distinctive zig-zag cadence in sequences of diagonals and arcs.
