A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, squared-off counters. Letterforms show smooth, geometric curve construction with softened corners, paired with decisive angled cuts on terminals and joins that create a forward-leaning, aerodynamic profile. Strokes maintain an even, low-contrast weight, and many glyphs use horizontal “notches” or cut-ins that give the shapes a stamped, engineered feel. Numerals and capitals are bulky and stable, while lowercase forms keep a compact, sturdy rhythm with single-storey a and g.
This font is well suited to sports branding, event graphics, and punchy headlines where impact and motion are desirable. It can also work on packaging and apparel graphics that need a bold, contemporary-retro voice, especially at medium to large sizes where the cut terminals and rounded counters stay clear.
The overall tone is energetic and bold, with a sporty, speed-oriented character. Its rounded geometry keeps it friendly and approachable, while the sharp cut terminals add tension and momentum that reads as confident and action-driven.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sense of speed, combining rounded geometric construction with aggressive, angled terminals to create a distinctive display voice that remains cohesive across letters and numerals.
The oblique slant is pronounced and consistent across cases and figures, helping lines of text feel fast and continuous. Counters are relatively tight at text sizes, but the strong silhouettes and distinctive cut-ins make the face highly recognizable in display settings.
