A tightly condensed, heavily slanted sans with compact proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are largely uniform, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves that keep counters smooth while corners stay firm and squared-off. Terminals are crisp and cut cleanly, and the overall drawing leans toward tall, compressed shapes that emphasize speed and density. Numerals follow the same condensed, sturdy construction for consistent color in lines of text.
Best suited for display typography where space is limited and impact is key: posters, punchy headlines, sports and motorsport-style branding, promotional graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation items when a compact, energetic voice is desired, especially with careful spacing.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, reading as fast, sporty, and engineered. Its aggressive slant and compressed width create urgency, while the rounded-rect curves prevent it from feeling harsh or overly technical. The result is a modern, performance-driven voice suited to attention-grabbing messages.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in minimal horizontal space while projecting motion through a strong forward slant. Its rounded-rectangle construction suggests a contemporary, engineered aesthetic aimed at clear, repeatable forms across letters and figures.
The narrow set and pronounced slant create tight spacing pressure in longer strings, which can boost impact but may require generous tracking at smaller sizes. Round letters maintain relatively open counters for the style, helping legibility in display settings, while diagonals and joins remain bold and compact.
