A compact, forward-slanted sans with tightly compressed proportions and sturdy, even stroke weight. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle forms, giving counters and bowls a smooth, superelliptical feel, while joins stay clean and mostly closed. The rhythm is dense and efficient, with short terminals, minimal modulation, and a generally upright structure pushed into a consistent oblique. Numerals and capitals share the same tight set and blunt, high-contrast silhouette against the page (from mass rather than stroke variation).
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where space is limited and impact is needed—posters, signage, packaging callouts, and sports or motorsport-style branding. It can work for subheads and labels when set with generous tracking and ample leading to keep the dense texture from feeling crowded.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, with a utilitarian, performance-driven energy. Its compressed build and strong slant evoke motion and urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps it contemporary rather than aggressive or sharp.
Likely designed to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space, combining a condensed footprint with a cohesive oblique stance and rounded, superelliptical construction for a modern, engineered look.
The design maintains a disciplined, uniform texture in running text, with compact spacing and a strong vertical density. Rounded corners and superelliptical counters help preserve clarity at display sizes, even as the narrow set concentrates visual weight.
