A condensed, slanted sans with heavy, compact letterforms and softly rounded corners that suggest a squared-off, superelliptical construction. Strokes stay essentially uniform, with broad verticals and tight internal counters that produce a dense, high-ink texture. Curves (C, G, O, Q, S) read as rounded-rectangle bowls rather than true circles, and terminals are clean and blunt, keeping the silhouette crisp. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with short ascenders/descenders relative to the main body and a generally upright, mechanical rhythm despite the consistent slant.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and wayfinding or industrial-style signage where compact width and strong presence matter. It can also work for subheads and emphasis text, while extended paragraphs may feel dense due to its tight counters and condensed build.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and functional—evoking athletic branding, motorsport numbering, and utilitarian signage. Its compressed proportions and emphatic weight convey urgency and impact, while the rounded corners keep it approachable rather than sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space, combining a strong, uniform stroke with rounded-rectangle geometry for a modernized, sporty display voice. The consistent slant and compact proportions reinforce a sense of motion and efficiency for branding and titling.
Spacing appears tight and efficient, creating strong word-shapes in all caps and punchy texture in mixed case. Numerals are sturdy and legible, with simple, condensed forms that pair naturally with the uppercase for labeling and prominent numeric display.
