A tightly condensed, steeply slanted display sans with heavy, compact letterforms and rounded-rectangle construction in bowls and counters. Strokes are mostly uniform but show subtle modulation from the italic stress, with crisp, squared terminals and occasional sharp internal cut-ins that create a faceted, speed-line feel. The overall rhythm is dense and vertical, with narrow apertures and compact spacing that encourages large sizes and short lines. Numerals match the condensed, forward-leaning stance and maintain the same blocky, rounded-corner geometry.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and high-impact branding where a compact, energetic wordshape is desirable. It works well for sports and motorsport-style graphics, bold packaging callouts, event promotion, and attention-grabbing signage, particularly when set large with slightly increased tracking.
The face projects motion and pressure—fast, forceful, and slightly retro—like signage built for impact rather than nuance. Its forward lean and compressed width give it a competitive, adrenaline-charged tone that reads as assertive and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to combine condensed efficiency with a sense of speed, using a strong italic stance and rounded-rectangular forms to stay cohesive while still feeling aggressive and dynamic. It prioritizes visual punch and a distinctive silhouette for display typography.
In text settings the dark color builds quickly, especially where curved letters close up, so clarity depends on generous tracking and ample line spacing. The distinctive internal slashes and tight counters add character but can reduce legibility at smaller sizes.
