A tightly condensed, strongly slanted sans with compact proportions and a brisk, forward rhythm. Strokes are sturdy and clean, with subtle contrast visible in curves and joins, and terminals that feel crisp rather than calligraphic. Round letters are drawn as narrow ovals, counters are relatively small, and spacing is economical, producing a dense, vertical texture. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, contemporary construction with a single-storey a and a clean, open e, while numerals follow the same condensed, oblique logic for consistent color in mixed text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, short callouts, and branding where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. The condensed width helps fit more characters into tight spaces, making it practical for posters, packaging panels, and promotional graphics, while the slant adds momentum for sports or performance-oriented themes.
The overall tone is fast and energetic, with a purposeful, contemporary feel. Its steep slant and narrow footprint read as confident and promotional, suggesting motion and urgency while staying visually clean and controlled.
Designed to deliver maximum emphasis in a minimal width, combining a steep slant with sturdy strokes for a streamlined, contemporary voice. The intent appears focused on attention-grabbing display use while keeping the letterforms simple and highly consistent across cases and numerals.
The heavy, condensed forms create strong typographic color and noticeable emphasis even at moderate sizes. The pronounced oblique angle is a defining feature and will dominate the page rhythm, especially in longer lines of text.
