A compact, forward-slanted sans with tall proportions and tightly contained counters. Strokes are heavy and largely monolinear, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves that give bowls and apertures a squared-off softness rather than fully circular geometry. Terminals tend to be blunt and clean, and many curves transition into straight segments with a slightly engineered feel. The overall rhythm is compressed and upright in structure but consistently sheared, producing a fast, aerodynamic silhouette across both upper- and lowercase, with lining numerals that match the condensed stance.
Best used at display sizes where its condensed, slanted shapes can project energy—such as posters, headlines, sports and motorsport-style branding, promotional graphics, and bold interface labels. It can also work for short signage or packaging callouts where compact width and high impact are priorities.
The face reads fast and assertive, with a utilitarian, performance-driven tone. Its slant and compact forms suggest motion and pressure—well suited to messages that want to feel active, tough, or time-sensitive rather than calm or editorial.
The design appears intended to combine a streamlined, motion-forward slant with robust, compact letterforms and softened rectangular curves, creating a modernized, sporty grotesque that stays legible while maximizing impact in tight horizontal spaces.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and columnar, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, signage-like construction with simple joins and restrained detailing. The rounded-rectangular curves keep the design from feeling harsh, but the compressed spacing and heavy mass still deliver a strong, impactful color in text.
