A highly compressed, oblique sans with heavy, uniform strokes and squared-off terminals. The forms are built from tight verticals and compact bowls, with rounded-rectangle counters and frequent corner softening that keeps the geometry from feeling brittle. Curves are simplified and often look engineered rather than calligraphic, while occasional open apertures (notably in C/S) and tall ascenders/descenders create a snappy, vertical rhythm. Figures are equally narrow and upright in structure but slanted with the rest of the design, reinforcing a streamlined, sign-painter-meets-industrial silhouette.
Well-suited to bold headlines, sports and motorsport-style branding, event posters, and energetic packaging where a compact, slanted wordmark can carry the layout. It also works for short UI labels or badges when space is limited, provided sizes are generous enough to preserve interior clarity.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and performance-oriented, with a distinctly retro-tech energy. Its condensed slant and sturdy construction suggest motion, impact, and a competitive, headline-driven attitude.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while projecting speed and intensity. Its simplified, engineered shapes and consistent oblique stance prioritize a strong silhouette and quick recognition over comfortable long-form reading.
The design reads best at larger sizes where the tight interior spaces and compact lowercase can breathe. The uppercase set dominates visually, and the lowercase leans toward a small, utilitarian companion with strong vertical emphasis, making mixed-case text feel like a display voice rather than a text face.
