A compact, heavy sans with a pronounced forward slant and tightly controlled proportions. Strokes are sturdy and uniform, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves that keep counters open while maintaining a dense, high-impact silhouette. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, and the overall rhythm is built from narrow letterforms, short ascenders/descenders, and consistent, engineered geometry. Numerals match the same sturdy, condensed construction for a cohesive text and display palette.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of text where impact and speed matter—sports and motorsport branding, energetic campaigns, bold packaging, and punchy signage. It can work for subheads and callouts, but the dense, slanted forms are most effective when given room and used at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is assertive and fast, with a utilitarian, performance-driven feel. Its slanted stance and compact mass read as energetic and pressurized, suggesting motion, efficiency, and a no-nonsense voice rather than elegance or softness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a clean, contemporary sans structure. The superellipse-like rounding and blunt terminals aim for a robust, industrial clarity, and the consistent slant adds a sense of motion and urgency.
Round letters lean toward squared bowls and flattened curves, giving the face a technical, machined quality. The strong diagonals in forms like A, K, V, W, X, and Y reinforce the forward momentum, while the generally generous apertures help preserve recognizability at large sizes despite the dense set width.
