A steeply slanted, condensed display sans with sharply tapered joins and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes flare and pinch through curves and diagonals, creating a fast, knife-cut rhythm; counters stay relatively small and tight, especially in rounded letters. Uppercase forms are tall and compressed with angular terminals, while lowercase leans toward single-storey constructions (notably a and g) and compact apertures. Numerals follow the same energetic, tapered logic, with dramatic curves and narrow internal spaces.
Best suited for large sizes where its tapered contrast and compact rhythm can read clearly—headlines, poster typography, sports or motorsport-inspired branding, packaging callouts, and energetic event promotions. In longer text blocks, it works most effectively as short bursts of emphasis (subheads, pull quotes, taglines) rather than sustained reading.
The overall tone is kinetic and forceful, reading as speed-driven and attention-grabbing. Its aggressive slant and compressed fit evoke a retro performance aesthetic—more headline spectacle than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in limited horizontal space, combining a strong forward slant with sculpted contrast to suggest speed and intensity. It prioritizes a distinctive, performance-oriented texture that stands out quickly in display settings.
Spacing appears tight by default, reinforcing the compact, forward-leaning texture in paragraphs. The high-contrast modeling is especially visible in letters with bowls and diagonals (B, S, R, 8), where thick strokes dominate and thin transitions sharpen the silhouette.
