A tall, tightly condensed sans with a pronounced forward slant and compact, high-waisted proportions. Strokes are largely monolinear, with rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) curves in bowls and counters that stay narrow and vertical. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, while joins and curves remain smooth, giving letters like O, C, and G a streamlined, elongated feel. Spacing appears tight with a consistent rhythm, and the uppercase and lowercase maintain a uniform, engineered silhouette suited to dense setting.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where a compact footprint and strong vertical presence are assets. It can work well for branding, sports or automotive-themed graphics, packaging callouts, and promotional copy that benefits from a fast, compressed look.
The overall tone is urgent and energetic, with a sporty, retro-industrial flavor. Its compressed geometry and slanted stance convey speed, intensity, and a poster-like confidence rather than calm readability.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, pairing condensed proportions with smooth superelliptic curves to keep forms clean and modern while still feeling vintage-speed inspired.
Numerals follow the same tall, condensed construction and read clearly in sequence, with rounded interior shapes and minimal detailing. The sample text shows strong word-shape cohesion at larger sizes, where the narrow counters and tight spacing become a distinctive texture.
