A tall, tightly condensed italic sans with a pronounced forward slant and compact spacing. Strokes are largely uniform with subtle contrast, and terminals are clean and crisp, producing a sleek, cut-from-metal feel rather than a calligraphic one. Curves stay controlled and narrow, with rounded-rectangular counters in letters like o/e/c, while diagonals and joins (notably in k, v, w, x) are sharp and efficient. Ascenders and descenders are long and narrow, and the overall texture forms a fast, vertical rhythm suited to large display settings.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where its condensed, slanted silhouette can deliver impact—such as posters, editorial display, film/title cards, and sports or performance-oriented branding. It can work for subheads and pull quotes when set with generous leading and tracking to maintain clarity.
The font reads as energetic and cinematic, with a sporty, speed-driven tone. Its narrow, leaning forms evoke vintage poster typography and title sequences, projecting urgency and forward motion rather than calm neutrality.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and a sense of motion within a narrow footprint, offering a tall, italic display voice that stays clean and modern while nodding to retro condensed signage and entertainment typography.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and streamlined, and the numerals follow the same condensed, italic structure for a cohesive set. The dot on i/j is small and the bowls and apertures are tight, which reinforces the compressed, high-impact look in longer lines.
