A compact, right-slanted sans with dense, tall proportions and a strongly forward-leaning stance. Strokes stay largely uniform, with rounded bowls and softened terminals that keep the shapes smooth despite the heavy color. Curves are drawn as tight ellipses and the counters are relatively small, producing a solid, high-impact texture in text. The lowercase shows single-storey forms where expected (notably the “a”), with simple, utilitarian constructions and a consistent, rhythmic slant across letters and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, athletic or event branding, and bold callouts on packaging. It can also work for signage or interface labels when used at larger sizes where the compact counters and dense color remain clear.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, action-oriented feel. Its compressed width and pronounced slant suggest speed, urgency, and modern utility rather than refinement or formality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while projecting motion and momentum. Its simple, rounded constructions and consistent slant prioritize clarity and energy for display typography.
In the sample text, the narrow set and small counters create a dark, continuous typographic color; spacing appears tight and benefits from breathing room at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same condensed, forward-leaning logic, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive.
