A condensed, right-slanted sans with heavy, uniform strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) counters. The letterforms are compact and tall with squared silhouettes softened by small radii at corners, producing a sturdy, engineered look. Curves stay controlled and boxy rather than fully circular, and joins are blunt and muscular. The rhythm is punchy and dense, with tight internal openings and strong vertical emphasis that keeps lines visually packed and high-impact.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and display settings where compact width and strong emphasis are advantages. It works well for sports and motorsport-style branding, promotional posters, packaging callouts, and title cards that need a bold, kinetic presence in limited space.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and utilitarian—more about momentum and impact than delicacy. Its compressed, slanted stance suggests speed and intensity, with an assertive, sporty edge that reads as action-oriented and slightly retro-industrial.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that maximizes density and speed through compression and slant, while keeping forms clean and modern via rounded-rect geometry. It prioritizes instant recognition and a strong silhouette for branding and promotional typography.
In text, the strong slant and condensed widths create a continuous forward motion, but the tight apertures and dense spacing can make long passages feel heavy. It shines when set large, where the rounded-rectangle structure of bowls and counters becomes a distinctive signature.
