A condensed, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and sharply controlled curves. Strokes feel engineered and muscular, with tight counters and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) bowls that keep forms rigid and consistent. Many glyphs show deliberate internal cut-ins/notches and tapered joins that create a slightly stencil-like, speed-cut rhythm, while terminals stay mostly straight and clipped rather than soft. The overall texture is dense and high-impact, with uniform cap presence and a steady, forward-leaning cadence across letters and numerals.
Best suited for display applications where impact and momentum matter: headlines, posters, sports and motorsport identities, team graphics, and bold packaging or label titles. It also works well for numbers in scoreboards, product codes, and signage-style callouts, particularly at medium-to-large sizes where the internal cut-ins remain clear.
The font reads fast and forceful, projecting motion and urgency. Its compressed, italicized stance and cut-in details suggest speed, performance, and a utilitarian, equipment-marking attitude. The tone lands between retro athletic signage and modern industrial branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, condensed voice with a technical, performance-driven silhouette. By combining rounded-rectangle construction with sharp cut-ins and a strong slant, it aims to stay legible at display scale while adding an aggressive, speed-oriented personality.
In text, the narrow set and tight counters produce a dark, continuous color that favors short bursts over long reading. Numerals and capitals feel especially suited to ranking, labeling, and scoring contexts, where the notched details add distinction at display sizes.
