A condensed oblique sans with tall proportions and compact counters, built from rounded-rectangle curves and tightly controlled terminals. Strokes stay largely uniform, producing a clean, graphic silhouette; rounded letters like O and Q read as vertically stretched superellipses. Curves are firm rather than soft, and joins are crisp, giving the alphabet a slightly engineered feel. Numerals and capitals are similarly narrow and upright-in-structure despite the strong slant, maintaining a consistent, high-impact rhythm across lines.
Best suited to display typography where speed and impact matter—headlines, posters, sports or motorsport-style branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short signage phrases and UI labels when you want a compact, high-energy voice, but longer passages will look tight and intense.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and modernist, with a whiff of retro athletic and industrial signage. The steep slant and compressed width create a sense of motion and urgency, while the rounded-rect geometry keeps it contemporary and controlled rather than handwritten.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum emphasis in minimal horizontal space, pairing a strong forward slant with rounded-rect construction to feel both dynamic and engineered. It prioritizes a cohesive, graphic texture and a condensed footprint for attention-grabbing typography.
Because the letterforms are so narrow and slanted, spacing and word shapes become a dominant feature: lines look dense and energetic. The superelliptical bowls and compact apertures help the design hold together at display sizes, while the consistent stroke weight keeps the texture even.
