A condensed, sharply slanted sans with tall proportions and a tightly packed rhythm. Strokes are sturdy with subtly tapered joins and softly rounded corners, giving the letterforms a streamlined, aerodynamic feel rather than a geometric rigidity. Counters are narrow and vertical, curves are drawn with superellipse-like smoothness, and terminals are generally clean and blunt with occasional angled cuts that reinforce the forward lean. The overall texture is dark and even, designed to hold together as a strong typographic block at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, event graphics, branding wordmarks, and sports or motorsport-themed communications. It can also work for packaging callouts and promotional banners where vertical economy and strong presence are priorities; extended body text would likely feel dense due to the narrow counters and tight rhythm.
The face projects speed and momentum, with a crisp, modern tone that also nods to vintage signage and headline typography. Its narrow build and pronounced slant read as energetic and assertive, making text feel driven and performance-oriented rather than calm or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a condensed build with a pronounced forward slant for speed and emphasis. Rounded, superellipse-like curves soften the mass, keeping the style contemporary and controlled while maintaining a strong display voice.
Round letters such as O/Q show vertically stretched, narrow apertures, while diagonals and arms (seen in letters like K, R, and X) stay compact to preserve the condensed width. Numerals follow the same tall, narrow logic, helping mixed alphanumeric settings remain cohesive and punchy.
