A slanted sans with condensed proportions and a forward-leaning stance. Strokes are mostly uniform with modest contrast and clean, tapering joins, giving forms a crisp, engineered feel rather than calligraphic softness. Counters are compact and rounded-rectangular in spirit, while diagonals and curves stay tight, creating a fast rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same lean and compact width, reading clearly in a straightforward, utilitarian style.
Best suited for short-to-medium text where slant and compact width add impact—headlines, marketing copy, branding systems, and sports or automotive-style graphics. It can also work for labels and packaging where space is limited but a dynamic, modern tone is desired.
The overall tone is energetic and directional, with a sense of speed and momentum. Its oblique construction and tight spacing cues feel contemporary and performance-oriented, balancing seriousness with a distinctly active voice.
Likely designed to provide a versatile italic sans voice that reads cleanly while projecting speed and emphasis. The condensed proportions and crisp terminals suggest an intent to perform well in display settings and contemporary identity work.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to carry emphasis on its own, and the condensed build helps headings stay compact. Lowercase shapes keep a practical, readable structure, while the uppercase set feels assertive and poster-ready.
