A tall, tightly set italic with a pronounced forward slant and compact, vertically emphasized proportions. Strokes show a clear thick–thin pattern that stays restrained, producing crisp joins without feeling fragile. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: bowls and counters read as softly squared, while terminals end cleanly with minimal finishing. Overall rhythm is fast and even, with narrow letter widths and consistent curvature that keeps the texture smooth at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, short subheads, and logo or wordmark work where its narrow, slanted profile can create momentum and save horizontal space. It can also work well for packaging and editorial display lines that want a clean, retro-leaning italic emphasis without ornate detailing.
The tone is brisk and streamlined, combining a vintage display italic energy with a contemporary, engineered cleanliness. Its condensed stance and rounded-rectangular curves give it a sporty, fashion-forward feel that reads assertive without becoming aggressive.
The design appears intended as a condensed display italic that blends geometric, rounded-rectangular forms with a controlled contrast to achieve speed, clarity, and a distinctive silhouette in large sizes.
Several glyphs lean into simplified, geometric construction—round letters appear slightly squared, and diagonals feel steep and efficient—helping keep the silhouette compact and uniform. Numerals follow the same tall, slanted logic, supporting cohesive headline setting.
