A sharply slanted condensed sans with tall proportions and tight letterfit. Strokes show a subtle calligraphic influence, with slightly tapered terminals and gentle modulation that keeps the texture lively without becoming decorative. Curves are compact and elliptical, counters are relatively narrow, and verticals dominate, creating a strong, upright rhythm despite the pronounced slant. Numerals follow the same narrow, energetic construction, maintaining consistent stroke behavior and spacing.
Well-suited to headlines, short subheads, and logo or wordmark-style branding where a compact footprint and energetic slant help emphasize speed and modernity. It can also work for packaging callouts, event graphics, and sports or automotive-themed design, particularly where space is tight and vertical emphasis is desirable.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, suggesting motion and momentum. Its narrow, leaning forms feel contemporary and slightly edgy, lending an athletic, headline-ready attitude while staying clean enough for straightforward communication.
The font appears designed to deliver a condensed, motion-driven italic voice that maximizes impact in limited horizontal space. It aims for a clean sans foundation with just enough stroke shaping to add character and pace in display typography.
The slant is prominent and consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, giving lines of text a strong directional flow. The design favors clarity through simplified shapes and compact apertures, producing a dense, high-impact texture best appreciated at display sizes.
