A tightly condensed, slanted sans with consistently even stroke weight and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves are built from smooth superelliptical bowls and rounded corners, while verticals dominate the rhythm, producing a tall, upright silhouette. Terminals are generally softened rather than sharply cut, and counters stay open despite the narrow set. Uppercase and lowercase share a cohesive, engineered geometry with a slightly mechanical forward-leaning stance.
Best suited for short to medium-length text where a compact footprint and high visual energy are desirable—headlines, subheads, posters, and signage in particular. It can also work in branding and packaging when a narrow, dynamic voice is needed, especially in space-constrained layouts.
The overall tone feels fast and streamlined, with a sporty, display-oriented attitude reminiscent of vintage signage and condensed headline typography. Its controlled geometry reads modern and technical, while the rounded corners keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving condensed voice with forward motion, using rounded-rectangle geometry to maintain clarity and friendliness. Its consistent stroke and tall proportions emphasize legibility at display sizes while projecting speed and modernity.
The italic angle is consistent across the set and reinforces motion in running text. Numerals follow the same narrow, rounded geometry and align well with the letterforms, supporting compact compositions. The font’s condensed spacing and tall proportions create strong vertical texture, especially in paragraphs.
