A condensed, strongly slanted sans with tall proportions and tight horizontal footprint. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with subtly rounded, superellipse-like corners that soften the otherwise rigid geometry. Counters are narrow and vertically oriented, and many joins and terminals resolve into squared-off ends with gentle rounding, giving the letterforms a machined, aerodynamic feel. Spacing appears compact and rhythm-driven, producing a dense, forward-leaning texture in words and lines.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, and bold titling where its condensed width helps fit long words into tight spaces. It works well for sports branding, event graphics, and packaging needing a sense of speed and intensity. For extended reading at small sizes, the dense texture and narrow counters may require generous sizing and spacing to maintain clarity.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and slightly retro, like motorsport or athletic branding. Its steep slant and compressed shapes suggest speed and momentum, while the softened corners keep it from feeling harsh. The result reads as energetic and high-impact rather than conversational.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width, combining a steep forward slant with geometric, rounded-rectangle construction. Its consistent, sturdy strokes and streamlined silhouettes aim to project motion and confidence while remaining cleanly sans and contemporary.
In running text the narrow apertures and tight inner spaces create a dark, continuous color, especially in lowercase where ascenders and vertical strokes dominate. Numerals follow the same condensed, slanted construction and integrate cleanly with the letters, reinforcing a unified, display-oriented voice.
