A condensed, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and a sturdy, uniform stroke. Counters and curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing squarish bowls and softly radiused corners rather than circular forms. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, with occasional subtle hooks on descenders, and the overall rhythm is tight with efficient spacing that keeps words dense and fast-looking.
Best suited to display settings where a compact, energetic voice is needed, such as headlines, posters, and branding marks. The condensed slant and squared-round forms also fit well in sports and automotive themes, product packaging, and bold UI or signage moments where space is limited but impact is desired.
The font projects speed and urgency, with a mechanical, performance-oriented feel. Its rounded-square construction adds a controlled, engineered tone that reads as sporty and slightly retro, like signage and equipment labeling designed to be seen quickly.
The design appears intended to combine a space-saving condensed structure with an oblique, forward-leaning stance and rounded-rectangular construction. The goal is a fast, engineered look that stays clean and modern while nodding to retro industrial and athletic typography.
Uppercase forms are tall and narrow with simplified joins, while lowercase maintains a compact, utilitarian texture. Numerals follow the same condensed, oblique stance with consistent curvature and sturdy interior spaces, reinforcing a cohesive, streamlined set across letters and figures.
