A heavy, condensed sans with a pronounced forward slant and compact internal counters. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: squarish bowls, softened corners, and broad, uniform strokes that keep contrast minimal. Curves tend toward superelliptical shapes, while joins and apertures are tight, giving the face a dense, punchy texture. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, with occasional small notch-like cut-ins that read as subtle ink-trap behavior in corners and joints. Figures and caps share the same compressed width and sturdy, poster-friendly mass.
Best suited to high-impact applications such as headlines, posters, athletic or motorsport branding, promotional graphics, and bold packaging. It can work for short UI labels or wayfinding when set large, where the condensed width and strong rhythm help fit content into narrow spaces.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a sporty, action-oriented feel. The slant and condensed rhythm create a sense of speed and urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh. It also carries a utilitarian, retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of display lettering on equipment, signage, or motorsport graphics.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual weight in minimal horizontal space, combining a fast, italicized stance with rounded-rectangle construction for a distinctive, modern-display look. It’s optimized for attention-grabbing typography where speed, strength, and compactness are the primary goals.
Spacing appears intentionally tight, producing a strong vertical cadence in text. The lowercase maintains a compact footprint with sturdy stems and minimal differentiation in stroke modulation, prioritizing impact over delicacy. In running text, the slant and dense counters amplify momentum but can reduce clarity at small sizes.
