A compact, heavily weighted italic sans with rounded-rectangle construction and soft cornering throughout. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with subtle modulation and smooth joins that keep counters open for the weight. The narrow set and forward slant create a fast rhythm, while terminals are mostly blunt or gently tapered, reinforcing a sturdy, engineered feel. Round letters skew toward superelliptical bowls, and the numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, tightly spaced, display-oriented silhouette.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where impact and motion are desirable. It fits sports and motorsport-style branding, energetic packaging, and logo wordmarks that benefit from compact width and strong presence.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a distinctly sporty, retro-leaning flavor. Its rounded geometry adds friendliness, while the condensed, slanted posture keeps it feeling urgent and performance-driven.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in limited horizontal space, combining a forward-leaning stance with rounded, superelliptical forms for a fast yet approachable voice.
The font’s weight and tight proportions emphasize silhouettes over inner detail, making it strongest at larger sizes. The lowercase includes single-storey forms (notably a and g), which supports a streamlined, contemporary texture within the bold, rounded framework.
