A heavy, compact sans with a strong forward slant and tightly controlled proportions. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry with softened corners and broad, even strokes that stay visually consistent across curves and straights. Counters are small and punchy, apertures tend to be narrow, and terminals are clean and blunt, creating a dense, high-impact texture. The numerals and capitals follow the same compressed, superelliptical logic, producing a cohesive, poster-ready rhythm at display sizes.
Best suited for display typography where impact and speed are desired: headlines, posters, sports and motorsport-style branding, packaging callouts, and bold logo wordmarks. It can work for short subheads or UI accents when given extra spacing, but it is most convincing at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and performance-oriented, suggesting speed and momentum. Its dense weight and oblique stance give it an aggressive, no-nonsense voice that reads as contemporary and slightly industrial, well suited to energetic branding and attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact footprint, combining rounded-rectangle construction with a forward-leaning stance to emphasize motion and power. It prioritizes strong silhouette, consistency, and a contemporary, high-energy feel for branding and promotional work.
The pronounced slant and tight internal spacing can make long passages feel intense, but it excels when set with generous tracking or used in short bursts. Shapes remain smooth and controlled, and the rounded corners help soften the otherwise hard, muscular silhouette.
