A heavy, oblique sans with tightly condensed proportions and a compact horizontal footprint. Letterforms are built from squared-off curves and rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel with softened corners rather than true circles. Strokes stay broadly even, while terminals are clean and blunt; the overall texture is dense and rhythmic, with short apertures and sturdy joins that read clearly at display sizes. Figures follow the same blocky, streamlined construction, with simple, squared shapes and minimal internal detail.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, sports and motorsport identities, event posters, product packaging, and attention-grabbing UI headers. The dense weight and compact width help it hold presence in tight spaces, while the oblique momentum supports themes of speed and action.
The slanted stance and dense, dark color create a fast, forceful tone associated with speed, impact, and performance. Its rounded-rectangle construction adds a contemporary, engineered feel that reads more technical than friendly, suggesting motion and athletic branding rather than editorial refinement.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, forward-leaning voice, combining a compact, performance-oriented stance with rounded-rectangle forms for a modern, engineered look. The consistent, blunt detailing prioritizes punchy display readability and brandable silhouettes over delicate typographic nuance.
The oblique angle is pronounced, and the compact spacing reinforces a banner-like, headline-driven presence. Curves remain controlled and boxy throughout, producing a consistent, machined silhouette across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
