A condensed, heavily slanted sans with compact proportions and tight interior counters. Strokes are broadly uniform, with rounded-rectangle construction showing through in the bowls and terminals, and corners that feel softened rather than sharp. The rhythm is forward-leaning and compressed, with short apertures on letters like C and S and squared-off curves on O/Q that read as superelliptical. Numerals echo the same compressed, blocky geometry, with sturdy, closed forms and minimal detailing.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, event posters, team marks, product packaging, and apparel graphics. It can also work for UI labels or navigation in display contexts where space is tight and a dynamic, condensed look is desired, but it is less suited to long-form reading.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, suggesting speed, impact, and motion. Its dense, forward-tilted silhouettes evoke sports branding, motorsport graphics, and action-oriented display typography with a slightly retro, poster-like urgency.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space, using a strong oblique stance and rounded-rectangular construction to maintain a cohesive, engineered feel. Its forms prioritize speed and visual compression while keeping letter shapes straightforward and consistent for bold display settings.
The design relies on mass and silhouette more than inner detail, so readability improves when set with generous tracking and sufficient size. The italic slant is strong and consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping unify the set as a single, high-energy voice.
