A compact, oblique sans with heavy, uniform strokes and tightly controlled proportions. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: corners are softened, curves are broad, and counters tend toward squarish ovals, giving the design a superelliptical, machined feel. Terminals are mostly blunt and horizontal, with occasional angled cuts that reinforce forward motion. Spacing is firm and economical, producing a dense, high-impact texture in both caps and lowercase, while the numerals follow the same rounded, blocky construction for consistent color in mixed settings.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and performance branding, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It excels where a dense, energetic typographic voice is needed and where size is sufficient to preserve counter detail.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and utilitarian—evoking racing graphics, athletic branding, and rugged equipment labeling. Its slanted stance and compressed mass create a sense of momentum and urgency, while the rounded corners keep the aggression controlled and modern.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while projecting speed and strength. Its rounded-rectangular construction suggests an intention to feel engineered and contemporary, balancing toughness with a smooth, controlled finish.
The design maintains a steady rhythm through consistent stroke weight and repeated rounded-rectangle motifs, which helps headlines feel cohesive even at large sizes. The compact counters and tight fit increase punch but can reduce clarity in small text, especially where interior space is minimal.
