A compact, forward-slanted sans with heavy, uniform strokes and tightly drawn proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a smooth, compressed feel while terminals stay blunt and decisive. The letters show a strong rightward shear, with sturdy verticals and diagonals that keep forms stable even at tight widths. Numerals and capitals read as blocky and dense, with consistent weight and minimal modulation across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, sports or motorsport-style branding, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It can also work for logo lockups and apparel graphics where a condensed, forward-leaning wordmark needs to stay legible at a distance.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and workmanlike, with a slightly vintage athletic flavor. Its compressed, slanted rhythm suggests motion and urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps the voice friendly rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space, combining a strong oblique stance with rounded-rectilinear construction for a clean, modernized display look. It prioritizes dense texture, quick readability, and a sense of speed for attention-driven typography.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and the heavy silhouettes create strong word shapes, especially in all caps. The lowercase maintains a compact, utilitarian look with single-storey forms where applicable and sturdy joins that favor impact over delicacy.
