A heavy, condensed oblique sans with tightly packed proportions and a consistent rightward slant. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with counters kept narrow and apertures relatively closed, creating a dense, poster-like texture. Round forms read as squarish ovals with softened corners, giving the design a superelliptical feel; terminals are mostly blunt and cut cleanly, and the overall rhythm is compact and vertical. Numerals and capitals appear engineered for impact, with simplified shapes and minimal detailing that stay crisp at large sizes.
Best suited to large-scale display settings where strong impact and a sense of speed are desirable—headlines, posters, sports and motorsport-style branding, promotional graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation elements when used sparingly and with adequate spacing.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and high-energy, with a distinct athletic and headline-forward attitude. Its compressed, slanted stance suggests motion and urgency, while the rounded-rectangle curves add a slightly retro, industrial polish.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in minimal horizontal space, pairing a condensed build with an oblique stance to communicate motion. The rounded-rectangle construction keeps the forms cohesive and contemporary while preserving a tough, utilitarian headline presence.
The italic angle and dense internal spacing make the face feel strongest when set with generous tracking or ample line spacing. In longer lines, the narrow counters and compact apertures create a dark, continuous color that emphasizes momentum over calm readability.
