A sharply oblique, condensed sans with tall proportions and a compact rhythm. Strokes are sturdy and largely uniform, with corners frequently chamfered into small facets that give curves a superellipse-like, rounded-rectangle feel. Counters are tight and mostly squared-off, producing a streamlined, mechanical texture in text. The uppercase has a disciplined, upright structure despite the slant, while the lowercase is similarly narrow with compact bowls and short, efficient terminals; numerals follow the same faceted, forward-leaning geometry for consistent color across mixed settings.
Best suited to display roles where speed and impact matter: headlines, poster titles, sports and motorsport-style branding, and energetic packaging. It can also work for short signage or UI labels when a condensed, assertive voice is desired. For paragraph text, it will be most comfortable in brief bursts (pull quotes, captions, callouts) rather than long reading.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, with a clear “forward motion” created by the slant and compressed width. Its faceted rounding reads as engineered and sporty rather than soft, evoking racing graphics, industrial labeling, and retro-futuristic display typography. The dense, dark texture adds urgency and impact, making it feel energetic and performance-oriented.
The likely intention is a compact, high-impact italic sans that feels engineered and contemporary while nodding to retro athletic and industrial graphics. The superellipse-like rounding and consistent chamfers appear designed to keep the texture cohesive across letters and numerals, emphasizing momentum and durability in display settings.
The design relies on repeated angled cuts at joins and terminals, which creates a crisp, almost stenciled edge without actually breaking strokes. Round letters like O/Q and the curved parts of S/C show squarish curvature, reinforcing the technical, machined character. In longer lines the condensed spacing and strong slant form a distinctive diagonal flow, so generous tracking and line spacing can help maintain clarity at smaller sizes.
