A compact, right-slanted sans with tightly drawn proportions and heavy, continuous strokes. Curves are built from rounded, squarish geometry, giving counters an oval-to-superellipse feel and keeping terminals smooth rather than sharply cut. The overall rhythm is dense and vertical, with short extenders, narrow apertures, and sturdy joins that read clearly at display sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same compressed, forward-leaning structure, reinforcing a unified, punchy silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short emphatic statements where a compact footprint and strong presence are needed. It works well for sports, motorsport, fitness, and energetic branding systems, as well as packaging callouts and bold wayfinding where quick recognition matters.
The tone is fast and forceful, with a forward-leaning posture that suggests speed and impact. Its dense black shapes and rounded industrial geometry feel modern and utilitarian, leaning toward athletic and action-oriented branding rather than quiet editorial work.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, pairing condensed widths with rounded-rectangular curves for a modern, engineered look. The built-in slant adds momentum and helps the type feel active and directional, making it a natural fit for branding and display settings.
The italics are built into the design rather than applied as a simple slant, with letterforms shaped to maintain even weight and stable counters. Rounds like O/Q and figures such as 8/9 stay full and smooth, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) feel especially sharp and energetic within the condensed width.
