A condensed, slanted sans with hard, faceted corners that turn curves into planar cuts. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, producing a dense, compact color with minimal modulation. Counters are tight and angular, terminals are clipped rather than rounded, and diagonals are prominent, giving letters a forward-leaning rhythm. Numerals and capitals read tall and blocky, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian construction with consistent, squared-off joins.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, high-impact voice is needed—especially in sports, motorsport, fitness, or industrial-themed graphics. It can work well for packaging callouts and logo wordmarks that benefit from a tight footprint and aggressive slant.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, with a mechanical, performance-driven feel. Its sharp facets and compressed stance suggest speed, toughness, and a slightly retro athletic attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-energy display voice by combining an oblique stance with chiseled, faceted shaping. The goal seems to be maximum impact and speed cues while keeping the letterforms simple and sans in structure.
The faceting creates crisp internal angles and chamfer-like notches that add texture at display sizes. Because of the dense weight and tight apertures, the face favors short bursts of text where impact matters more than airy readability.
