A condensed, right-leaning sans with chunky strokes and minimal contrast. Letterforms are built from squarish superellipse geometry: rounded-rectangle bowls and counters, flattened curves, and softened corners throughout. Terminals are predominantly angled and clipped, giving the outlines a forward-tilting, speed-oriented rhythm; apertures are tight and counters are compact. Uppercase forms read tall and compact, while the lowercase keeps a relatively small x-height with sturdy stems and simplified joins; figures follow the same condensed, angular-oval construction for a consistent texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact typography such as sports identities, automotive or racing graphics, event posters, product marks, and punchy headlines. It can also work for UI labels or wayfinding-style callouts when you want a compact, forward-leaning voice and can set it with generous spacing.
The overall tone is fast, mechanical, and performance-driven, with a contemporary, slightly retro-tech flavor. It conveys motion and efficiency—more like a race livery or equipment mark than a quiet editorial text face.
The design appears intended to combine a condensed footprint with a streamlined, speed-centric silhouette, using superellipse curves and angled cuts to produce a modern, energetic display sans with strong brand presence.
The slant and clipped terminals create strong directional emphasis, which boosts impact in display settings but can make dense paragraphs feel energetic and busy. The uniform weight and squared-off curves help maintain a steady, blocky color at larger sizes.
