A condensed, heavy sans with a pronounced forward slant and a tightly packed rhythm. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: corners are softened, curves feel like superelliptical bowls, and terminals land with blunt, squared cutoffs rather than tapered strokes. The overall color is dense and even, with minimal visible modulation, and counters are compact but kept open enough to read at display sizes. Diagonals are crisp and energetic, and the numerals match the same compact, block-forward construction.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and other short-to-medium display settings where impact and speed are desired. It fits sports and motorsport-style branding, punchy packaging, promotional graphics, and bold signage where condensed width helps maximize text in limited space.
The tone is fast, forceful, and contemporary—more athletic and mechanical than refined. Its slant and dense silhouettes create a sense of motion and urgency, while the rounded corners keep it from feeling harsh or technical.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in a compact footprint, combining a strong forward-leaning stance with rounded-rectangular construction for a modern, high-energy display voice.
Spacing appears intentionally tight, producing strong word shapes and a compressed texture in lines of text. The design favors broad, simplified internal shapes over delicate details, making it feel robust and headline-driven.
