A tightly condensed, heavy italic sans with a smooth, superelliptical construction. Strokes read largely uniform and dense, with rounded-rectangle curves and gently softened corners that keep the forms from feeling rigid. The slant is pronounced and consistent, producing a fast forward rhythm, while counters are compact and slightly squarish, especially in rounded letters. Terminals are blunt and clean, and the overall texture is dark and even at text sizes, with narrow apertures and restrained interior space.
Best suited to short, bold copy where impact and motion matter: sports identities, racing or fitness-themed branding, posters, apparel graphics, and strong typographic lockups. It can work for subheads or short callouts in UI and packaging, but the tight counters and condensed build make it less comfortable for long-form reading at small sizes.
The tone feels athletic and high-impact, with a retro display flavor reminiscent of speed, machinery, and broadcast graphics. Its forward lean and compact mass convey urgency and confidence, making it feel loud without relying on ornament. The softened geometry adds a controlled, engineered friendliness rather than sharp aggression.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space, combining a strong italic angle with rounded-rectangle geometry for a streamlined, speed-oriented look. It prioritizes a cohesive, high-density silhouette and consistent rhythm across letters and numbers for branding and display applications.
Uppercase forms are especially blocky and vertical in their proportions despite the italic slant, giving headlines a stacked, punchy cadence. Lowercase maintains the same compactness and rounded-rectangle logic, with a notably small reading window that emphasizes shape over internal detail. Numerals follow the same condensed, forward-tilting stance for consistent, poster-like figures.
