A tightly condensed, forward-leaning sans with tall proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with rounded-rectangle (superelliptical) bowls and counters that keep curves smooth rather than geometric. Terminals are mostly clean and blunt with subtle rounding, and many letters show restrained, functional shaping to stay legible in narrow widths. Numerals follow the same compact, upright-by-structure but slanted-by-axis construction, maintaining consistent weight and spacing in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, title treatments, and branding where vertical emphasis and speed are desirable. It can also work on packaging or labels when space is limited, especially if spacing is opened slightly to maintain clarity.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and high-energy, with a poster-like presence that suggests motion. Its compressed forms and italic angle evoke sports graphics, action titles, and mid-century display typography, leaning more dramatic than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while projecting motion through a consistent slant. Superelliptical rounding and uniform stroke weight aim to keep the texture smooth and contemporary, balancing retro display cues with clean sans construction.
In the sample text, the combination of heavy color and narrow set produces a dark, continuous texture, so readability improves with generous tracking or larger sizes. Rounded counters and consistent stroke weight help keep character shapes distinct despite the extreme condensation.
