A dense, condensed oblique sans with heavy, uniform strokes and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves read as superelliptical and squarish rather than circular, giving counters a compact, engineered feel. Terminals are clean and blunt, with minimal modulation and little to no visible flare. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with narrow apertures and compressed bowls; lowercase forms stay compact with a straightforward, utilitarian geometry. Numerals match the same condensed, high-impact build for consistent texture in mixed settings.
Best suited for large, high-impact typography such as headlines, posters, sports or motorsport-style branding, and packaging callouts where urgency and density are assets. It can also work for short editorial display lines and promotional banners, especially when you want a compressed, fast-moving texture.
The face communicates speed and pressure: bold, forward-leaning forms that feel athletic and no-nonsense. Its squared-round shapes add a mechanical, industrial edge, while the italic slant pushes it toward energetic, headline-driven messaging.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing a strong oblique stance with rounded-rect geometry to keep the tone both aggressive and controlled. The consistent stroke weight and simplified detailing suggest a focus on clarity and punch in display use.
The condensed width and heavy weight create strong word-shape bands in continuous text, emphasizing momentum over softness. Roundness is expressed more through softened corners than through open, circular counters, which helps the type remain punchy at large sizes.
