A compact, heavy oblique sans with tightly proportioned letterforms and a forward-leaning stance. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with squared-off terminals that are subtly softened, producing rounded-rectangle counters and corners rather than sharp geometry. Curves read as squarish and controlled (not fully circular), and the overall rhythm is dense, with minimal internal white space and strong vertical emphasis. The lowercase is straightforward and utilitarian, with single-storey a and g, sturdy bowls, and short, robust joins; figures follow the same condensed, muscular construction for consistent color in text and headlines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where strong presence and forward motion are desirable—sports identities, event posters, product packaging, and bold UI or in-store signage. It can also work for condensed subheads and callouts where tight horizontal space is a constraint, provided sizes are large enough to preserve counter clarity.
The font projects speed and force, like athletic branding, motorsport graphics, and high-impact promotional typography. Its tight, slanted forms feel assertive and functional, communicating momentum, intensity, and a no-nonsense tone.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited width, combining a slanted, energetic stance with dense, rounded-rectangular geometry for a tough, modern look. Its consistent, heavy stroke structure prioritizes bold legibility and brandable shape over delicate detail.
Round letters such as O/Q/C take on a squarish, superelliptical silhouette, which reinforces a technical, engineered feel. The oblique angle and compact widths create a strong directional flow across lines, while the heavy weight keeps small apertures and counters feeling deliberate and bold.
