A compact, heavy sans with a pronounced forward slant and tightly packed proportions. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and many joins and terminals are cut with angled, wedge-like shears that emphasize motion. Curves read as squarish rounds—more like rounded rectangles than true circles—giving bowls and counters a sturdy, engineered feel. Apertures are relatively closed and counters are small for the weight, while spacing stays controlled to maintain a dense, headline-ready texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports or motorsport-style branding, bold packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks. It can work for brief bursts of text where a dense, energetic texture is desired, but the compact counters and heavy strokes favor larger sizes and strong contrast against the background.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, projecting energy and confidence. Its slanted, cut-off terminals and compressed stance suggest speed, competition, and machinery, with a slightly retro display flavor reminiscent of bold athletic branding and action-oriented graphics.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while conveying speed and strength. Its rounded-rectangle construction and consistent sheared terminals aim for a cohesive, industrial display voice that stays legible and bold in branding and promotional contexts.
Uppercase forms are broad-shouldered and simplified, with angled cuts showing up consistently on letters like E, F, T, and Z. Numerals follow the same blocky, rounded-rectangle construction and slanted rhythm, keeping a cohesive voice across alphanumerics. The sample text shows a strong diagonal flow and high ink coverage, making the font feel assertive even in longer lines.
