A condensed, forward-leaning sans with rounded-rectangle construction and compact counters. Strokes are monolinear and heavy, with terminals that read blunt yet softly rounded rather than sharp. Curves on letters like C, G, O, and S feel superelliptical, while verticals stay straight and tightly spaced, creating a dense, high-impact texture. Uppercase forms are narrow and athletic; lowercase is similarly compressed with sturdy joins and simplified bowls, producing a consistent, economical rhythm across words and numerals.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where compact width and strong color are beneficial, such as headlines, posters, and bold branding lockups. It also fits sports and motorsport graphics, apparel markings, and packaging where a dynamic, space-saving voice is needed. In longer paragraphs it will read as forceful and dense, so generous leading and careful tracking would help if used beyond display sizes.
The overall tone is fast and performance-driven, with a strong, poster-like presence. Its slanted stance and compact proportions suggest motion and immediacy, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive. The result feels sporty and retro-industrial, suited to messaging that needs to look energetic and direct.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing a consistent oblique posture with rounded, superelliptical forms for a modernized athletic feel. Its simplified, sturdy shapes prioritize punchy recognition and a fast visual cadence over delicate detail.
In the sample text, the tight letterfit and heavy color create a strong horizontal sweep, especially in longer lines. Numerals follow the same condensed, rounded logic, blending smoothly with letters in settings like scores, dates, and technical markings. The italic angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping maintain a unified forward push.
