A tightly condensed, right-leaning sans with a brushlike, hand-drawn construction and mostly monoline strokes. Curves are tall and narrow, with tapered terminals and occasional wedge-like joins that create a quick, calligraphic snap. Counters are small and openings are relatively tight, giving the texture a dense, rhythmic flow. Uppercase forms are narrow and upright in structure but strongly slanted overall; lowercase is compact with a notably short x-height, while ascenders and descenders extend long for a lively vertical profile. Numerals follow the same narrow, slanted stance with simplified, fast-looking curves.
Best suited for short-form display work such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where its condensed, slanted energy can lead the composition. It can also work for event or music graphics and bold callouts, especially when set with generous tracking or ample line spacing.
The overall tone is energetic and informal, evoking mid-century display lettering and quick marker signage. Its compressed, forward-leaning rhythm reads as active and sporty, with a playful edge that suits expressive, attention-seeking typography rather than quiet neutrality.
The font appears designed to capture the speed and attitude of hand-rendered, condensed italic lettering while keeping a clean sans foundation. Its narrow proportions and brushlike finishing suggest an intention to maximize impact in limited horizontal space and to communicate motion and immediacy.
The design leans on consistent slant and tight internal spacing to build momentum across words, which works best at larger sizes. The brushlike terminals and narrow counters can cause letters to visually merge in dense settings, especially in longer text or small sizes.
