A condensed, strongly slanted sans with tall proportions and rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) bowls. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear, with subtle contrast appearing where curves pinch and terminals taper slightly. Counters are narrow and vertically oriented, and curved letters (O, C, G) read as elongated ovals with softened corners rather than true circles. The overall texture is tightly packed and rhythmic, producing a solid, continuous vertical flow in words and lines.
Best suited to headlines, posters, title treatments, and branding where a condensed, kinetic look is desired. It works well for sports and motorsport-inspired graphics, packaging accents, and entertainment or cinematic titling that benefits from a bold, forward-driving rhythm. Short phrases and stacked layouts particularly capitalize on its vertical density and impact.
The font projects speed and urgency, with a sleek, aerodynamic feel that recalls retro display typography. Its compressed forms and forward lean give it a confident, assertive voice suited to high-energy messaging. The rounded geometry keeps the tone from feeling harsh, adding a polished, engineered character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while communicating motion through a pronounced italic slant. Rounded-rectangular construction and tight counters suggest a deliberate, engineered display aesthetic optimized for striking wordmarks and compressed headline settings.
Uppercase forms are particularly tall and commanding, while lowercase maintains strong verticality with a clear, compact footprint. Numerals follow the same narrow, slanted construction for consistent color in mixed settings. In longer text blocks the dense width and heavy strokes create a strong typographic presence that favors display use over extended reading.
