A condensed, forward-slanted sans with a compact footprint and heavy, even strokes. Curves tend toward rounded-rectangle (superellipse) geometry, keeping bowls and counters tidy and controlled, while terminals are mostly blunt and clean. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with narrow apertures and compact spacing that emphasize a tall, efficient silhouette. Numerals and capitals are built for impact, with simplified shapes and sturdy joins that hold up at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short display lines where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It also fits sports and motorsport-style branding, product packaging, and attention-grabbing signage, particularly when space is limited horizontally.
The font reads fast and forceful, with a sporty, utilitarian tone. Its slant and tight proportions suggest speed and momentum, while the squared-round construction keeps it feeling engineered and contemporary rather than calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in minimal width: a condensed, slanted display sans that stays clean and consistent through superellipse-like curves and simplified, sturdy letterforms. The goal is clear recognition and energetic tone in branding and headline typography.
In text, the compressed forms and strong weight create dense word shapes, making it visually assertive but less relaxed for extended reading. Distinctive, boxy-round rounds and sturdy diagonals give it a poster-like presence, especially in all-caps and numeric-heavy settings.
