A condensed, oblique sans with tall proportions and compact spacing that creates a fast, vertical rhythm. Strokes are largely monolinear with crisp, cut-in terminals and wedge-like corners that give many forms a slightly chiseled, mechanical feel. Counters are tight and openings are relatively narrow, while curves are simplified into taut arcs, keeping the overall silhouette firm and punchy. Numerals and capitals carry the same slanted, faceted construction, producing a consistent, poster-ready texture across lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and branding where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It can work well for sports and event graphics, bold packaging callouts, and condensed signage-style applications where space is limited but presence is required.
The overall tone feels energetic and assertive, with a sense of motion from the steady slant and compressed build. Its sharp terminals and tight apertures read as purposeful and utilitarian, evoking signage, sports, and action-forward editorial styling rather than quiet neutrality.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in narrow widths while maintaining a coherent, energetic texture. Its oblique stance and hard-edged terminals suggest an intention toward motion and immediacy, pairing a straightforward sans foundation with stylized, angular finishing.
The design’s strong vertical emphasis and angular detailing create high visual momentum, especially in all-caps settings. In longer passages the dense texture can feel intense, so it benefits from generous line spacing and clear hierarchy to keep the rhythm from becoming overpowering.
