A condensed, right-slanted sans with monoline strokes and tightly controlled spacing. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: bowls and counters read as squared ovals with softened corners rather than true circles. Stems are straight and firm, with frequent angled cuts on terminals and joins that emphasize forward motion. The overall rhythm is compact and uniform, with consistent stroke weight and clean, mechanical curves that keep letterforms crisp at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as sports identities, tech or gaming graphics, event posters, product marks, and punchy headlines. It can also work for compact UI labels or instrumentation-style callouts where a tight, engineered look is desired, though longer text will feel dense due to the condensed width and slant.
The style projects speed and modernity, with a motorsport/tech flavor driven by the oblique stance and angular terminal cuts. Its squared-round construction feels engineered and purposeful, giving headlines a confident, high-performance tone. The condensed proportions and sharp detailing add urgency and intensity without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, contemporary sans optimized for display use, using superelliptical construction and angled terminals to create momentum while keeping a clean, industrial consistency across the set.
Counters stay relatively open despite the heavy, compact build, and the squared rounding maintains a consistent texture across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Numerals and uppercase share the same streamlined, forward-leaning logic, helping mixed alphanumeric strings feel cohesive and disciplined.
