A condensed, right-slanted sans with tall proportions and a pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems read sturdy and dark while joins and diagonals taper sharply, creating crisp, directional shapes and a fast rhythm. Counters are compact and rounded-rectangular in feel, and terminals tend to slice at an angle rather than end bluntly, reinforcing the forward lean. Overall spacing is tight and the texture is energetic, with subtle narrowing at joints that keeps the dense weight from clogging in small apertures.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, campaign graphics, and bold callouts where a condensed italic can maximize emphasis in limited space. It also fits sports or performance branding and packaging labels that need an aggressive, forward-driving typographic voice.
The tone is forceful and kinetic—built to look fast, loud, and performance-minded. Its compressed stance and sharp tapering suggest speed and impact, giving headlines a competitive, action-oriented voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact per line with a condensed footprint and a strong sense of motion. By combining a steep slant, sharp tapering, and compact counters, it aims to stay legible at display sizes while projecting speed and intensity.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and uniform, producing a strong vertical cadence, while the lowercase maintains a compact, punchy presence. Numerals match the same condensed, slanted construction and carry the same high-energy stroke behavior, making mixed alphanumerics feel cohesive in display settings.
