A steeply slanted, tightly condensed sans with tall proportions and a monoline feel. Strokes are straight and economical, with rounded-rectangle counters that keep bowls and apertures compact and vertical. Curves are minimized and squared-off by superelliptic rounding, producing narrow ovals in letters like O and tight interior spaces across the set. Spacing is close and the overall rhythm is fast and upright despite the strong slant, creating a continuous columnar texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and title treatments where space is tight and impact is the priority. It can work well for sports branding, event graphics, packaging callouts, and other applications that benefit from a fast, compressed look. For extended reading, it is likely more effective in short bursts than in long passages.
The tone is energetic and high-pressure, with a speed-driven, competitive character. Its compressed stance and forward lean suggest motion and urgency, while the clean, stripped-down construction keeps it modern and utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual intensity in minimal horizontal space, combining a strong italic stance with compact, rounded-rectangular forms. It emphasizes speed, efficiency, and a modern display presence over relaxed readability.
In the samples, long lines form a dense, dark typographic band with strong vertical emphasis. The narrow counters and close fit can reduce legibility at small sizes, but they amplify impact in large settings and short phrases.
