A tall, slanted display sans with compact, vertically emphasized proportions and a steady, low-variation stroke. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: bowls and counters feel squared-off with softened corners, and terminals often finish in clean, curved cuts rather than sharp points. The rhythm is tight and forward-leaning, with narrow apertures and condensed spacing that keeps words dense and energetic. Numerals echo the same rounded-rect construction, producing a cohesive, engineered texture across text and figures.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and prominent branding where a compact, energetic voice is needed. It works well for sports and performance-oriented identities, product packaging, labels, and bold signage, especially when set at medium-to-large sizes where the rounded-rect details remain clear.
The overall tone feels fast and assertive, with a retro-technical flavor reminiscent of motorsport, athletic branding, and mid-century industrial lettering. Its forward slant and compact width add urgency and motion, while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than harsh. The result reads as confident and streamlined—built to stand out.
The design appears intended to merge a streamlined, engineered geometry with a sense of speed and emphasis, delivering a compact display face that stays cohesive across letters and numerals. Its rounded-rect construction and forward slant suggest a goal of creating an assertive, modern-retro aesthetic for attention-grabbing typography.
The typeface maintains a consistent geometric logic across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a uniform “machined” look in continuous text. The condensed silhouettes and tighter internal spaces suggest it is happiest where impact and pace matter more than relaxed, airy readability.
