A condensed, strongly slanted sans with heavy strokes and softened, rounded-rectangle shaping throughout. Curves resolve into squared-off bowls and counters, giving letters like C, O, Q, and 0 a superelliptical, squarish roundness rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, with tight apertures and compact interior spaces that emphasize density and impact. The lowercase is tall and sturdy, with sturdy, simplified forms and minimal detailing; overall spacing reads tight and efficient, with a consistent, forward-leaning rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports and motorsport-style branding, packaging callouts, and bold signage where a compact, fast aesthetic is desirable. It can work for subheads and labels when set with generous spacing, but is visually optimized for display rather than extended reading.
The tone is assertive and kinetic, projecting speed and pressure through its pronounced slant and compact build. Its squared curves and blunt helping of mass feel utilitarian and tough, lending a sporty, workhorse character with a slightly retro display flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a condensed footprint while retaining a cohesive, geometric softness through rounded-rectangle curves. Its pronounced slant and blunt finishing suggest a focus on motion, strength, and attention-grabbing clarity in display contexts.
Numerals follow the same squared-round construction and bold presence, staying visually cohesive with the caps. The design’s geometry favors compact counters and strong silhouettes, so it reads best when given room (size or tracking) to avoid dark spots in dense settings.
