This typeface is a heavily weighted, tightly set sans with a consistent rightward slant and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with soft, blunted terminals and corners that read as superelliptical rather than circular. Counters are compact and often vertically oriented, giving letters a tall, packed rhythm; apertures tend to be narrow, and joins are smooth with minimal sharpness. The lowercase shows a sturdy, compact build with a single-storey a, a descendered g, and a simple, straight-sided r; figures are similarly tall and rounded, matching the condensed, forward-leaning texture.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where its dense, slanted silhouette can read as intentional and dynamic. It works well for sports and motorsport-adjacent branding, event posters, product packaging, and bold logo wordmarks where a compact, high-impact texture is desirable. For longer copy, larger sizes and generous tracking help counterbalance the tight counters and heavy color.
The overall tone feels fast and assertive, with a retro display flavor that suggests motion and impact. Its rounded edges keep the weight from feeling harsh, adding a friendly, slightly playful character despite the strong presence. The italic stance and condensed proportions contribute a sporty, poster-ready energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width while maintaining a soft, approachable edge through rounded geometry. Its engineered slant and uniform stroke treatment aim to communicate speed and emphasis without relying on sharp angles or high contrast.
The combination of tight internal spaces and heavy strokes produces a dark, continuous color in text, especially in longer lines. Letterforms maintain a consistent geometric logic, and the slant is uniform enough to feel engineered rather than calligraphic, which helps preserve clarity at display sizes.
