A tightly condensed italic sans with compact proportions and heavy, even strokes. Curves are built from squarish, rounded-rectangle forms, giving bowls and counters a slightly superelliptical feel rather than purely circular. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with gentle rounding that softens the silhouette without adding ornament. The rhythm is dense and vertical, with narrow apertures, minimal interior space, and consistent stroke treatment across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and punchy brand statements where space is tight and a strong, energetic slant helps drive attention. It can work well for sports branding, packaging callouts, and bold signage or wayfinding that benefits from condensed width and high visual density.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and contemporary, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests motion and urgency. Its compact build and assertive color feel utilitarian and sporty, leaning toward performance and action-oriented messaging rather than quiet readability.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing a forward italic posture with rounded-rectangular geometry to keep the forms sturdy and consistent. It prioritizes a strong, uniform typographic color and compact rhythm for attention-grabbing display typography.
Distinctive shapes show up in the squarish bowls (notably in letters like O, Q, and e) and the compact, condensed numerals that maintain strong presence at display sizes. The sample text demonstrates strong line-to-line texture and a dense gray value, making it suited to short bursts of copy where impact matters more than open, airy readability.
