A heavy, slanted sans with compact, squared counters and sharply cut terminals. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with thick verticals and slimmer connecting strokes, creating a punchy rhythm across words. Many forms lean on angular geometry and chamfered corners rather than smooth curves, giving letters a machined, block-built feel. The lowercase maintains a tall presence with compact bowls and short apertures, while numerals and caps share the same forward-leaning, tightly packed construction for a consistent, forceful texture.
Best suited for display work where impact and motion are desired: sports identities, racing or fitness graphics, event and concert posters, and bold retail headlines. It can also work for compact wordmarks and packaging callouts, especially when paired with a calmer text face for supporting copy.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and competitive, evoking motorsport, athletic branding, and high-energy signage. Its hard edges and forward slant read as urgent and performance-driven, with an industrial toughness that favors impact over softness.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual drive and recognizability through a forward-leaning stance, angular construction, and strong stroke modulation. Its letterforms prioritize speed and strength cues while keeping a cohesive, systematic geometry across caps, lowercase, and figures.
At text sizes the dense color and tight internal spacing can make counters feel narrow, so it reads best when given breathing room. The strong diagonals and cut-in notches add character that becomes more evident at display sizes, where the angular detailing and stroke modulation are most visible.
