A tightly condensed, strongly slanted sans with tall proportions and a brisk, forward rhythm. Strokes are thick and clean with subtly tapered joins that add a faint calligraphic feel without true serifs. Curves are compact and slightly squashed horizontally, while terminals tend to be crisp and directional, reinforcing the sense of speed. The overall texture is dark and emphatic, with narrow counters and a consistent, streamlined silhouette across letters and figures.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where a dense, high-impact voice is needed. It can work well for sports and fitness branding, event promotion, packaging callouts, and attention-grabbing signage, particularly when space is limited horizontally.
The font projects motion and intensity—confident, punchy, and built for impact. Its steep slant and condensed build suggest urgency and momentum, giving it a contemporary, performance-oriented tone.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in minimal width, combining a steep italic stance with condensed geometry to create a fast, aggressive display voice for modern branding and promotional typography.
Uppercase forms read especially tall and poster-like, while the lowercase maintains a compact, utilitarian structure with single-storey shapes where applicable. Numerals follow the same narrow, forward-leaning construction, helping mixed alphanumeric settings stay cohesive and dense.
