A compact, condensed oblique sans with heavy, even stroke weight and rounded superellipse curves. The letterforms show tight counters and a strong forward slant, with squared-off terminals softened by radiused corners. Curves in C/O/Q and bowls read as rounded-rectangle shapes, while diagonals in A/K/V/W/X are steep and sturdy, reinforcing a dense, high-impact texture. Numerals are similarly blocky and simplified, matching the uniform, poster-like color of the alphabet.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact phrases where its dense weight and forward slant can do the work—posters, sports and motorsport-style branding, product packaging, and attention-grabbing signage. It can also function well for logo wordmarks where a compact footprint and strong presence are priorities.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and contemporary, with an athletic, no-nonsense energy. Its forward lean and dense black presence suggest speed and urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps it feeling controlled rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a tight horizontal space, combining a bold oblique stance with rounded-rectangle construction for a modern, performance-oriented look.
The condensed width and tight internal spaces create strong word shapes at large sizes, but also produce a compact rhythm where counters can close up quickly. The italic slant is pronounced and consistent, giving lines a continuous sense of motion.
