A condensed, forward-slanted sans with tall proportions and a strong, even stroke throughout. Letterforms are built from tightened, rounded-rectangle geometry: corners are softened while joins stay crisp, producing a boxy but streamlined silhouette. Curves are minimal and controlled, counters are narrow, and terminals often finish with angled cuts that reinforce the sense of speed. Overall rhythm is compact and vertical, with consistent widths across many glyphs and occasional intentional width variation for fit and balance.
Best suited for high-impact display work where speed and attitude are desirable—headlines, posters, sports or motorsport-themed branding, packaging, and prominent signage. It performs particularly well at larger sizes where the tight counters and angular terminals remain clear and deliberate.
The font projects motion and urgency, combining a retro display flavor with a modern, engineered sharpness. Its slant and compressed stance read as sporty and energetic, while the squared, rounded-corner construction adds an industrial, tech-leaning confidence.
The design appears intended to evoke speed and precision through a compact build, forward slant, and squared, rounded-corner forms. It prioritizes punchy presence and a cohesive, engineered aesthetic over neutral text readability.
Round letters like O and Q take on a squarish, superelliptical form, and the figures follow the same condensed, aerodynamic logic. The design’s narrow apertures and tight counters create a dense, high-impact texture that becomes especially graphic in all-caps or large headline settings.
