A condensed, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and a strong forward lean. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with rounded-rectangle curves in bowls and counters that keep the shapes clean and controlled. Terminals are mostly blunt with occasional angled cuts, and the overall drawing favors tight apertures and narrow internal space, creating a dense, efficient rhythm. Numerals echo the same compressed geometry and sharp diagonal energy, staying consistent in color and spacing at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where its condensed width and strong slant can deliver impact without taking much horizontal space. It works well for sports and performance branding, packaging callouts, event posters, and punchy editorial display. For longer reading, it will generally perform better with generous size and leading to counterbalance its dense texture.
The typeface reads fast and energetic, with a punchy, performance-oriented tone. Its compressed stance and aggressive slant suggest speed, motion, and urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps it from feeling brittle. Overall it leans toward a sporty, headline-driven voice with a slightly retro, poster-like edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual speed and emphasis in a compact footprint. Its uniform stroke weight and rounded-rectangle construction aim for consistency and a strong silhouette, while the pronounced slant injects motion for attention-grabbing display typography.
In the sample text, the compact letterspacing and narrow counters create a dark, continuous texture that rewards larger sizes. Distinctive diagonals in letters like K, R, and X, along with the tight bowls in C/O/Q, reinforce a streamlined, aerodynamic feel.
