A tall, compact sans with strongly condensed proportions and a consistent, heavy stroke presence. Curves and counters are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing boxy, superelliptical bowls and softened corners rather than purely circular forms. The italic slant and tight internal spacing create a fast, forward rhythm, while terminals remain blunt and confident for clear, blocky silhouettes at display sizes. Figures and capitals match the same narrow, upright architecture with simple, robust shapes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a condensed, forceful voice is needed. It works well on packaging and labels, in sports or streetwear-style graphics, and anywhere you want tall, space-saving display type with an energetic slant.
The overall tone is assertive and high-energy, with a forward-leaning, compressed stance that reads as urgent and contemporary. Its squared-round construction adds an industrial, engineered feel, while the exaggerated verticality lends a sporty, poster-like punch.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a cohesive, rounded-rectangular construction. Its italic lean and compact rhythm suggest a focus on dynamic display settings rather than extended reading.
The narrow set width and dense color can make counters feel tight in long text, but it delivers strong impact and consistent texture in short lines. The italic angle amplifies motion and helps the forms feel dynamic rather than purely utilitarian.
