A condensed, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and a tight overall rhythm. Strokes are sturdy and fairly uniform, with softly rounded corners and squarish, superellipse-like curves that keep counters open while maintaining a dense texture. Terminals tend to be clean and blunt, and the italic construction reads more as an engineered slant than a calligraphic cursive, producing steady, forward-leaning word shapes. Numerals match the letterforms with similarly compact widths and rounded-rectangle geometry.
Works best for high-impact headlines, sports or motorsport-themed branding, posters, and packaging where a fast, compressed look is desirable. It can also suit short UI labels or navigation elements when space is tight and a forward-leaning emphasis is wanted, though longer text will typically need generous size and spacing.
The font projects speed and pressure—confident, assertive, and contemporary. Its slanted stance and compact build create a sense of motion that feels sporty and utilitarian rather than elegant or expressive.
Likely designed to deliver a compact, high-energy italic voice with geometric, rounded-rectangle construction for a modern, engineered feel. The goal appears to be strong presence and efficient horizontal fit while keeping shapes clean and consistent across letters and numbers.
The condensed width and strong diagonals make it visually punchy, but also increase letter similarity in dense settings, especially across narrow round forms. The rounded-rectangle curves give it a distinctive, slightly industrial flavor that remains clean at display sizes.
