A heavy, oblique sans with a blocky, compact build and consistently thick strokes. Curves are rounded but tightened, giving letters a squat, muscular silhouette, while terminals stay clean and largely unadorned. The slant is uniform across upper- and lowercase, and the overall rhythm is steady and mechanical, with simplified inner counters and strong, dark mass. Numerals match the letters in density and forward lean, maintaining a cohesive, forceful texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short emphatic statements where the dense weight and slanted stance can deliver impact. It also fits logos, sports or motorsport-style branding, packaging callouts, and bold labels where a sturdy, compact sans is desired.
The tone is bold and assertive, with a forward-driving, sporty energy. Its compressed shapes and strong slant evoke retro athletic graphics and utilitarian labeling, reading as confident, no-nonsense, and built for impact.
Likely designed to provide a high-impact, space-efficient italic display voice that remains clean and uniform. The goal appears to be strong visibility and a cohesive, engineered feel, balancing rounded construction with a tight, powerful silhouette.
The design favors dark fill and clear silhouettes over delicate detail, so spacing and counters feel intentionally tight at display sizes. In text, the oblique angle and dense weight create a distinctive, urgent cadence that stands out strongly against lighter companions.
