A condensed, slanted sans with compact proportions and a heavy, even stroke that keeps contrast to a minimum. Curves are broadly rounded and terminals are clean and unadorned, giving the alphabet a smooth, streamlined silhouette. Counters are relatively tight (notably in C, G, O, and e), while diagonals in A, V, W, X, and Y cut sharply and reinforce a forward-leaning rhythm. Numerals follow the same compact, athletic construction with sturdy shapes and minimal detailing.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks that benefit from a compact footprint and strong emphasis. The slanted, condensed construction also works effectively for sports and event graphics, product labels, and signage where a sense of speed and impact is desirable.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and contemporary, with a distinct sense of motion from the consistent italic angle. Its condensed stance and dense color feel energetic and utilitarian, suggesting speed, impact, and efficiency rather than softness or formality.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum emphasis in limited horizontal space, combining a condensed build with an italic lean to create forward motion and a strong, modern presence. Its simplified, low-detail forms prioritize clarity and punch over ornament.
The design reads strongly at display sizes thanks to its tight widths and solid fill, creating high visual momentum in words and lines. The slant is pronounced and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, right-leaning texture in paragraphs and headlines alike.
