This typeface is a tall, tightly condensed oblique sans with smooth, rounded-rectangle construction and consistent stroke weight. Curves are taut and verticals are straight and upright in feel despite the slant, producing a clean, streamlined texture. Counters are compact and oval, terminals are mostly plain and clipped rather than flared, and the overall spacing is engineered to stack into dense, high-impact lines. Numerals and capitals follow the same narrow, elongated proportions for a unified rhythm.
Best suited to large-size applications where a compact footprint and strong presence are needed, such as headlines, posters, branding lockups, and sports or event graphics. It can also work for packaging and short bursts of editorial display where a tall, condensed oblique voice helps maximize impact in limited space.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and contemporary, with a display-driven energy that reads as sporty and kinetic. Its forward lean and compressed width give it an urgent, motion-oriented voice suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver high-density display typography with a sense of speed and modernity, using rounded-rectangle forms and a consistent, low-contrast stroke to maintain clarity while staying distinctive.
Round letters (like O/C/Q) keep a superelliptical, vertically stretched silhouette, while diagonals (K/V/W/X/Y) are sharp and economical, reinforcing the tight, architectural feel. The sample text shows strong consistency at large sizes, with the slant and compression creating a distinctive, poster-like cadence.
