A condensed, oblique sans with a compact stance and emphatic, uniform strokes. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: corners are softly radiused, curves feel superelliptical, and terminals often end in squared, blunt cuts rather than tapered finishes. Counters are relatively tight, with rounded-square bowls in letters like O/D/Q and a clean, mechanical rhythm across the set. The lowercase is simple and utilitarian, with single-storey a and g, a narrow r, and short, squared shoulders; figures follow the same rounded-rectilinear logic, producing sturdy, legible numerals that align with the caps’ width and slant.
Best suited to display settings where a compact, energetic voice is needed—headlines, posters, sports and automotive branding, product packaging, and UI accents such as section titles or badges. It can work in short paragraphs at larger sizes, but its tight counters and condensed rhythm favor larger-scale, high-contrast applications over extended small text.
The overall tone is fast, technical, and performance-oriented, evoking motorsport graphics, athletic branding, and engineered product aesthetics. Its slanted posture and compact proportions create a sense of motion and urgency, while the rounded corners keep it friendly enough for consumer-facing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-efficient italicized voice with a distinctly rounded-rectangular construction, balancing mechanical precision with softened corners for approachable impact.
Spacing appears tuned for display impact: the condensed widths and tight apertures emphasize a dense, punchy word shape. The oblique angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping mixed-case text maintain a cohesive forward-leaning momentum.
