A compact, slanted sans with heavy strokes and minimal modulation, built from rounded-rectangle curves and squared counters. The letters sit tall and tight with short extenders and a workmanlike rhythm, while terminals are generally blunt with softened corners that keep the forms from feeling sharp. Curves in C/G/O and the bowls of B/P/R read as superelliptic, and diagonals in A/K/V/W/X are steep and energetic, reinforcing the forward lean. Numerals follow the same condensed, blocky construction for a cohesive set in display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports identities, event promotions, and packaging callouts. It can also work for signage or UI labels when a compact, energetic voice is needed, especially at medium-to-large sizes where its counters stay clear.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and utilitarian—suggesting motorsport graphics, athletic branding, or bold technical labeling. Its rounded-square geometry adds a retro-futurist edge, balancing toughness with a clean, engineered feel.
Likely designed to deliver maximum punch in limited horizontal space while maintaining a cohesive, rounded-square aesthetic. The steady oblique stance and simplified, sturdy shapes aim for immediate recognition and a sense of speed.
Spacing appears tight and efficient, favoring headline impact over airy readability. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the simplified details keep the texture uniform in longer lines of text.
