A tightly condensed oblique sans with tall proportions and a steady, low-contrast stroke. Curves are rounded and controlled, with narrow oval bowls and smooth, compact counters that keep the texture even at display sizes. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, while joins stay crisp, giving the face a disciplined rhythm despite the strong slant. Numerals and capitals follow the same narrow, upright-leaning architecture, producing a dense, vertical cadence across lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, covers, and brand lockups where a compact footprint is useful. It also fits energetic categories like sports, entertainment, and modern packaging, and can work for UI labels or navigation where narrow width is an advantage and sizes are sufficiently large.
The overall tone is fast, contemporary, and slightly assertive—more like a headline voice than a neutral text workhorse. Its pronounced slant and compact width suggest motion and urgency, while the restrained detailing keeps it professional and polished.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in minimal horizontal space, combining a strong oblique posture with simplified, rounded construction for a modern display voice. It prioritizes speed and compactness while maintaining a clean, consistent typographic color.
Because of the condensed set and pronounced oblique angle, spacing and line breaks will feel tight and energetic; it will read best when given generous tracking and breathing room. The consistent stroke and simplified forms help maintain clarity, but the narrow counters can close up visually at small sizes or in low-resolution settings.
