A condensed, right-leaning sans with a tight rhythm and sturdy, uniform stroke weight. Shapes are built from rounded-rectangle curves and chamfer-like joins, producing squarish counters and softened corners rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly straight and clipped, with minimal contrast and a slightly industrial, engineered feel. Uppercase forms read compact and vertical, while lowercase keeps a pragmatic, simplified construction with single-storey-style shapes and closed, boxy bowls. Numerals follow the same squared-round geometry for a consistent, display-oriented texture.
Best suited for high-impact applications such as sports identities, racing or motorsport graphics, product and equipment branding, and punchy promotional headlines. It also works well for short bursts of text—taglines, labels, and UI-style callouts—where a compact, energetic voice is desired.
The overall tone is fast, tactical, and performance-driven, combining a sporty slant with a futuristic, equipment-label aesthetic. Its compact width and hard-edged rounding convey momentum and precision more than warmth, making it feel confident and modern.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, forward-leaning display sans that stays cohesive through a rounded-square geometry. Its uniform strokes and clipped terminals prioritize clarity and impact, aiming for a modern, technical look that reads quickly and feels in motion.
The font maintains a consistent superelliptical logic across bowls, counters, and joints, which helps long lines look uniform and mechanical. In text, the pronounced slant and tight letterforms create a strong forward motion and a dense, high-impact color on the page.
