A tightly condensed, steeply slanted sans with heavy, compact forms and rounded-rectangular (superelliptic) bowls. Strokes are dense and confident with subtly tapered joins and modest contrast that helps keep counters open despite the narrow set. Terminals read clean and clipped, while curves stay smooth and controlled, giving letters a streamlined, engineered rhythm. Figures and capitals follow the same compressed, forward-leaning structure for a consistent, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, titles, posters, and branding where a compact, energetic voice is needed. It can work well for sports and motorsport aesthetics, punchy packaging callouts, and attention-grabbing editorial sidebars where space is limited and impact is the priority.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and slightly retro, evoking speed, competition, and industrial efficiency. Its aggressive slant and compact density add urgency and motion, making it feel suited to bold statements rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in minimal horizontal space, combining a streamlined italic stance with rounded, modernized forms for a fast, assertive display voice.
Spacing appears deliberately tight to maintain a solid vertical cadence, which amplifies impact in headlines but can make long passages feel intense. The strong diagonal stress and compressed proportions create distinctive word shapes that stand out in short bursts.
