A sharply condensed italic sans with tall proportions and a steady, low-contrast stroke. Curves are built from softened, rounded-rectangle geometry rather than true circles, giving counters a compact, engineered feel. Terminals are mostly clean and blunt with occasional subtle curvature, and the rhythm is driven by straight, slightly angled stems and narrow bowls. Uppercase forms are tall and streamlined; lowercase shows a large x-height with simple, open constructions, and figures follow the same narrow, forward-leaning cadence.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and short bursts of copy where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. The narrow italic stance works especially well for sports branding, poster typography, promotional advertising, and packaging where vertical emphasis and speed cues help the message cut through.
The overall tone is fast and energetic, with a contemporary, performance-minded edge. Its compressed stance and consistent slant suggest motion and urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal width while maintaining a clean sans structure and smooth, rounded form language. The italic slant and condensed build appear intended to communicate motion and efficiency for contemporary display typography.
In text, the tight horizontal footprint creates strong vertical texture and a pronounced forward flow. The narrow apertures and compact counters concentrate color on the line, which can feel punchy at display sizes and dense if set too tightly.
