A tall, tightly condensed oblique sans with pronounced thick–thin modulation and an overall superelliptic, rounded-rectangle construction in curved letters. Counters are narrow and vertically oriented, with compact apertures that keep forms taut and streamlined. Terminals are mostly blunt and crisp, and diagonals in letters like A, K, V, W, X, and Y are steep, contributing to a fast, forward-leaning rhythm. Numerals and lowercase follow the same compressed, high-contrast logic, producing a dense texture that stays legible but prioritizes impact over comfort at small sizes.
Best used for headlines, posters, and other display settings where a compact footprint and strong presence are desired. It fits energetic branding contexts such as sports, automotive, tech, and packaging, and can work well for short editorial display lines when ample size and line spacing are available.
The font communicates speed and intensity, with a display-driven attitude that feels technical and somewhat retro-futuristic. Its compressed stance and cutting slant suggest urgency and motion, making it feel suited to attention-grabbing, high-energy messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a narrow width, combining a forward slant with sharp, modernized grotesque forms and a controlled, superelliptic geometry. The goal is a distinctive, motion-oriented display voice that remains structurally clean and consistent.
Spacing appears purposefully tight, and the strong internal contrast creates a striped vertical cadence across words. The lowercase includes distinctive, narrow joins and compact bowls that keep word shapes slender and uniform, while the set maintains a consistent oblique angle across letters and figures.
