A highly condensed italic sans with tall proportions and a pronounced forward slant. Strokes are mostly monolinear with crisp, angular terminals and small cut-in notches that give many joins a segmented, mechanical feel. Curves are tightened into oblong ovals (notably in O/0), and diagonals dominate the structure, creating a fast, linear rhythm. Numerals follow the same narrow, slanted construction, with simple, open forms and sharp corners that keep the set consistent at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and branding where a condensed, motion-driven texture is desirable. It can work well for sports and racing themes, sci‑fi or tech titling, and energetic editorial display. Because of its tight spacing and narrow counters, it’s likely most effective at medium-to-large sizes rather than long passages.
The overall tone is energetic and aerodynamic, evoking speed, motion, and a lightly futuristic or industrial attitude. Its sharp detailing and compressed stance feel assertive and attention-seeking, with a retro-tech flavor reminiscent of racing, sci‑fi titling, or utilitarian signage.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, space-saving display voice by combining extreme condensation with an italic stance and angular, engineered detailing. The consistent monoline construction and repeated cut-terminal motif suggest a focus on cohesion across letters and numerals, prioritizing impact and a distinctive, streamlined silhouette.
Uppercase characters are especially tall and linear, while lowercase maintains a compact, upright-leaning texture with short extenders relative to the overall height. Counters tend to be tight, and the consistent slant makes lines of text read like a continuous forward push. The distinctive angled cuts at terminals and joints add identity without introducing overt decoration.
