A compact, right-leaning sans with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves are drawn with a slightly calligraphic tension: bowls and counters stay relatively tight while terminals frequently end in pointed, wedge-like cuts rather than blunt finishes. The overall rhythm is vertical and streamlined, with narrow apertures, brisk joins, and a consistent forward slant that keeps word shapes moving. Numerals and capitals follow the same compressed, high-impact structure, producing dense, dark text color at display sizes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display typography where impact and motion are desirable—headlines, posters, sports and motorsport-themed branding, promotional graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for pull quotes or subheads when you want a compact, energetic voice.
The face reads fast, punchy, and performance-minded—more “headline urgency” than quiet text neutrality. Its angled stance and sharp terminals evoke speed, confidence, and a slightly vintage, poster-like flair, making it feel competitive and attention-seeking.
The design appears aimed at delivering a fast, forceful display sans that combines condensed proportions with stylized tapering for extra drama. The consistent oblique angle and sharp terminals suggest an intention to communicate momentum and intensity while remaining legible and structured in uppercase and numerals.
Despite the sans construction, many strokes show a pen-like taper that adds sparkle in large sizes but can intensify texture in longer passages. The condensed proportions help conserve horizontal space while amplifying vertical presence, so lines feel tall and emphatic.
