A heavy, condensed oblique sans with tightly packed proportions and a strong forward slant. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, giving the letterforms a compact, high-impact texture. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry—counters and bowls feel squared-off yet softened at the corners—while terminals are clean and blunt. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short ascenders/descenders, helping the face read large and dense at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where speed and impact matter—especially sports, motorsport, and high-energy retail or packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers when a condensed, emphatic voice is needed, but the density and weight make it less appropriate for long-form text.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and utilitarian, with a competitive, athletic edge. The pronounced slant and compact width create a sense of motion and urgency, while the sturdy, block-like construction feels engineered and no-nonsense.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual punch in limited horizontal space, combining a forward-leaning stance with squared-round geometry for a contemporary, performance-oriented look.
Round characters like O, Q, and 0 are more superelliptical than circular, producing a distinctive squared-round silhouette. Diagonals and joins stay crisp and sturdy, and the numerals match the same compact, forward-driving rhythm for cohesive headline setting.
