A condensed oblique sans with a compact, forward-leaning stance and sturdy, uniform stroke weight. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: squared-off curves, softened corners, and flat terminals that keep counters open while maintaining a dense silhouette. Curves (C, O, S, 0) read as superelliptical rather than purely circular, and the overall rhythm is tight and upright in construction despite the slant. Numerals follow the same squared-round logic with clear, blocky shapes and minimal modulation.
Best suited to short, high-impact applications where a compact, speedy texture is desirable—sports and motorsport branding, tech or product graphics, interface labels, packaging callouts, and poster headlines. It can work in brief text blocks when sizes and spacing allow, but its condensed slanted forms are most effective in display roles.
The overall tone feels fast, modern, and performance-driven, combining a sleek industrial edge with approachable rounded corners. Its strong slant and compact width suggest motion and urgency, while the consistent geometry keeps it controlled and technical rather than expressive or casual.
The font appears designed to deliver a streamlined, motion-oriented voice using superelliptical construction and compact proportions, prioritizing punchy readability and a consistent geometric system. Its rounded-square curves aim to feel contemporary and engineered, balancing aggressiveness with smoothness.
The design relies on repeated rounded-rectangle motifs across bowls and shoulders, giving a cohesive “machined” feel. The narrow proportions and strong diagonal stress create a high-impact texture in lines of text, especially in uppercase-heavy settings.
