A sharply slanted, condensed sans with monoline strokes and a tall, upright posture that leans forward. Curves are squared-off and rounded at the corners, giving bowls and counters a rounded-rectangle feel rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and cut with minimal flare, and many forms rely on long straight stems with compact, tightly controlled curves. Spacing is economical and the rhythm is fast and vertical, with narrow counters and a slightly mechanical, engineered consistency across the set.
Best suited to display contexts such as headlines, posters, sports and automotive-style branding, packaging callouts, and title treatments where a fast, forward-leaning voice is desirable. It can work for short bursts of text—taglines, labels, UI badges—when generous size and spacing preserve clarity.
The overall tone is assertive and in-motion, like performance branding and speed-oriented graphics. Its forward lean and compressed proportions create urgency, while the rounded-rectangle construction adds a retro-futurist, technical flavor. The result feels sporty and dramatic without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-speed, condensed display voice with a controlled, geometric construction. By combining a strong oblique stance with rounded-rectangle curves and clean terminals, it aims to feel modern and technical while nodding to retro sports and sci-fi typography.
At text sizes the steep slant and tight interior spaces can make similar shapes converge, so it reads best when given room or scale. Numerals follow the same condensed, angled construction, maintaining a cohesive texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
