A tightly condensed italic with tall proportions and a brisk, forward rhythm. Strokes are clean and largely uniform with modest thick–thin modulation, and curves resolve into smooth, rounded-rectangle forms that keep counters compact and controlled. Terminals are mostly blunt and unadorned, giving the design a crisp, contemporary edge despite the pronounced slant. Narrow bowls and apertures, along with compact figures, create a dense color and strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and prominent callouts where vertical economy and momentum are desirable. It can work well for branding, packaging, and campaign graphics that need a compact, high-impact voice, and it’s particularly effective for sporty or high-energy themes.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a streamlined, slightly retro feel reminiscent of sporty or editorial display typography. Its slanted stance and condensed build convey speed and urgency, while the clean construction keeps it disciplined rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a condensed build with an italic slant for motion. Its clean, rounded construction suggests a goal of modern legibility while maintaining a distinctive, display-forward character.
The uppercase and figures read especially tall and economical, producing a poster-like presence in short bursts. In longer lines, the tight width and consistent rhythm create a strong typographic texture that favors emphasis and pace over spaciousness.
