A tall, tightly set oblique sans with compact proportions and dense black strokes. The letterforms favor rounded-rectangle geometry in bowls and counters, producing smooth, uniform curves with minimal modulation. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, while diagonals and joins keep a crisp, engineered feel. Uppercase forms are narrow and upright in construction but consistently slanted, and the lowercase follows the same narrow rhythm with compact, controlled apertures. Numerals match the condensed, forward-leaning stance and maintain consistent stroke weight and spacing.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, promotional copy, posters, and sports or fitness-oriented branding. It can work well on packaging and labels where vertical economy and a strong, directional emphasis help text stand out, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is fast and energetic, with a forward-leaning posture that suggests motion and momentum. Its heavy, compressed silhouette feels assertive and performance-oriented, reading as contemporary and utilitarian rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while projecting speed and confidence. Its consistent stroke weight and rounded-rectangle construction prioritize clarity and a cohesive, modern texture in display typography.
The strong condensation and slant create a pronounced rightward flow in text, and the tight internal counters give the design a solid, high-impact color on the line. Rounded rectangular bowls help keep curves orderly and stable, even at larger sizes.
