A tall, tightly set italic sans with compact, elliptical counters and rounded-rectangle construction in the curves. Strokes stay largely monolinear, with clean terminals and minimal ornamentation, producing a crisp, utilitarian texture. The overall rhythm is strongly vertical and compressed, with narrow letterforms, short crossbars, and tight interior spaces; round characters like O and C read as upright superelliptic shapes rather than perfect circles. Numerals and capitals share the same condensed, high-waisted proportions, and the slant is consistent across the set for a cohesive, streamlined silhouette.
It performs best where space is limited and impact is needed—headlines, subheads, posters, and brand lockups that benefit from a condensed footprint. The energetic italic makes it especially suitable for sports, automotive, entertainment, and promotional typography, and it can work in short navigational labels when set with adequate size and spacing.
The font projects speed and urgency through its strong forward lean and compressed stance. It feels contemporary and pragmatic, with a slightly athletic, headline-driven tone rather than a relaxed or literary voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, modern sans voice with a built-in sense of motion. Its superelliptic rounding and consistent slant aim for a contemporary, engineered look that stays clean while maximizing density and headline presence.
Because of the narrow build and tight apertures, the face creates a dark, continuous stripe in longer settings, while still retaining clear silhouettes for individual letters. The italic angle is assertive, giving short words and all-caps lines a dynamic, punchy presence.
