A condensed, oblique sans with sturdy strokes and minimal modulation. Letterforms are built from squared-off curves and rounded-rectangle geometry, producing counters and bowls that feel engineered rather than calligraphic. Joins and terminals tend toward crisp angles with occasional softened corners, and many curves resolve into straight segments, creating a tight, fast rhythm. Spacing is compact and consistent, with streamlined shapes that stay clear at display sizes while remaining fairly clean in short text settings.
Works best where a compact, high-impact voice is needed: headlines, posters, product branding, and sports or motorsport-themed graphics. The engineered, condensed forms also suit interface labels and on-screen titling when set with adequate size and spacing.
The overall tone is energetic and performance-minded, suggesting speed, precision, and modern machinery. Its slanted stance and clipped shapes give it a forward-leaning, competitive feel suited to contemporary tech and sport aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver a streamlined, modern sans optimized for speed and presence, combining condensed proportions with superelliptical construction for a distinctive, technical signature.
Distinctive superelliptical bowls (notably in O/0 and D) and squared apertures give the design a recognizable silhouette. Figures are similarly constructed with rounded-rectangular loops and straightforward diagonals, aligning well with the uppercase’s constructed geometry.
