A condensed, forward-leaning sans with heavy, uniform strokes and compact proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, with occasional angled cuts that reinforce the slanted rhythm. The overall texture is dense and steady, with tight apertures, sturdy joins, and a consistent, engineered feel across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display contexts where impact and speed matter: headlines, poster typography, sports or motorsport branding, bold packaging, and compact logotypes. It can also work for short bursts of UI or signage text when a condensed, energetic tone is desired, though it will be most effective at medium-to-large sizes.
The voice is fast and forceful—confident, sporty, and slightly industrial. Its slant and compact width create a sense of motion and urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps it friendly enough for contemporary branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in limited horizontal space while maintaining a smooth, contemporary silhouette. By combining condensed proportions, a consistent slant, and rounded-rect geometry, it aims for a modern display look that stays disciplined and highly legible in bold settings.
Straight-sided curves and rectangular counters show up strongly in letters like O/Q and in the numerals, which read as compact and punchy. The lowercase maintains a controlled, uniform color in text settings, and the oblique angle stays consistent across the character set, supporting a cohesive rhythm in longer lines.
