A sharply slanted, ultra-condensed sans with monolinear strokes and a tall, high-reaching lowercase that compresses counters into slim vertical apertures. Curves are tightened into rounded-rectangle shapes, while terminals stay clean and unadorned, keeping the texture crisp and linear. The overall rhythm is vertical and fast, with tight spacing and narrow glyph bodies creating a continuous, column-like color across words.
Best suited to large sizes where its narrow build and steep slant can function as a strong graphic gesture—titles, pull quotes, packaging marks, and poster typography. It can work for short lines of display text and compact wordmarks, but the tight counters and compressed rhythm make it less comfortable for extended body copy.
The typeface conveys speed and modernity—cool, taut, and slightly dramatic. Its steep forward lean and compressed proportions read as assertive and stylish, evoking fashion headlines, contemporary sports branding, and high-energy editorial typography.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in minimal horizontal space while projecting a contemporary, high-speed character. By combining strict vertical compression with rounded-rectangular curves and a strong oblique stance, it aims for a distinctive display voice that stays clean and modern rather than ornamental.
Round letters such as o/c/e appear as tall capsules with small inner counters, and diagonal forms (v/w/x/y) become needle-like strokes that emphasize motion. Numerals follow the same condensed, slanted construction, maintaining a consistent, aerodynamic feel in mixed text.
