A condensed, right-slanted display sans with strong stroke contrast and tightly controlled proportions. Letterforms are built from compact, rounded-rectangle geometry with squared-off curves, producing blunt, aerodynamic counters and crisp inside corners. Strokes taper decisively on diagonals and joins, and terminals often end in sharp, angled cuts that emphasize forward motion. The overall texture is dense and vertical, with narrow widths, tight sidebearings, and consistent italic rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for short, prominent text where its condensed, forward-leaning rhythm can add momentum—headlines, posters, campaign taglines, and bold brand marks. It also works well in sports, automotive, and product packaging contexts where tight horizontal space and strong visual punch are needed. For longer reading, it is more effective in larger sizes and with generous line spacing.
The font projects speed and pressure—confident, competitive, and slightly aggressive. Its compressed stance and hard, oblique cuts evoke motorsport and action-oriented graphics, while the smooth, rounded-rect foundation keeps it modern rather than ornamental. The result feels energetic and functional, suited to high-impact messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited width while communicating speed and decisiveness. Its rounded-rectangle construction suggests a contemporary, engineered feel, while the sharp angled terminals and high-contrast strokes reinforce a performance-driven, display-first purpose.
Uppercase forms read tall and compact with simplified curves, while the lowercase maintains a steady x-height and a single-storey feel in rounded characters, supporting quick recognition at display sizes. Numerals follow the same condensed, slanted construction, keeping a consistent cadence in sequences. The combination of tapered diagonals and blunt, superelliptic bowls creates a distinctive mix of softness and edge.
