A tightly condensed, right-slanted sans with monolinear strokes and smooth, rounded construction. Letterforms are tall and compact, with open apertures and simplified terminals that keep the texture clean even at narrow widths. Curves are elliptical and controlled, while diagonals (as in A, K, V, W, X, Y) stay crisp and slightly springy, creating a lively rhythm. The overall spacing is compact and the numerals follow the same lean, with simple shapes and consistent stroke behavior.
Best suited to space-conscious headlines, subheads, and display copy where a narrow footprint is an advantage. It works well for branding systems that want a sense of speed—sports, fitness, automotive, and tech-forward packaging—while remaining clean enough for short editorial callouts and captions at larger sizes.
The tone is fast and streamlined, suggesting motion and efficiency. Its narrow, slanted silhouette reads contemporary but also nods to mid-century and sports/automotive typography, giving it a confident, energetic voice without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver an economical, high-impact typographic voice: condensed for efficient line length, slanted for momentum, and drawn with smooth, minimal shapes for a modern, no-nonsense finish.
The set maintains a consistent forward lean across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a coherent italic texture. Lowercase forms appear straightforward and utilitarian rather than calligraphic, with emphasis on clarity and pace in continuous text.
