A condensed oblique sans with tall proportions, tight set width, and clean, uninterrupted strokes. Curves are drawn with rounded, superelliptic geometry—especially in C, O, and G—while terminals stay mostly plain and unbracketed. The design shows moderate stroke modulation for an italic sans, with subtly thickened curves and slightly crisper joins on diagonals. Counters are compact but open enough to keep letters like a, e, and s readable at display sizes, and the overall rhythm is forward-leaning and continuous.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where a compact, forward-leaning voice is desired. It works well for branding, posters, packaging, and signage that benefits from a streamlined, space-saving silhouette and a sense of motion. In longer paragraphs it can feel dense due to the narrow width, so it’s most effective when given generous tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone is fast and streamlined, with a sporty, slightly retro flavor reminiscent of mid-century signage and display titling. Its narrow build and consistent slant give it an energetic, directional feel that suggests motion and urgency without becoming aggressive.
The design appears intended as a space-efficient italic display sans: condensed to fit more characters per line, slanted to add momentum, and rounded in its curve logic to keep the texture smooth and contemporary. It prioritizes consistent rhythm and high visual economy for titling and graphic applications.
Uppercase forms are notably narrow and vertical, with simplified constructions that favor clarity over detail. Numerals follow the same condensed, oblique logic and read cleanly as a set, supporting headline use where space is limited. The sample text shows strong word-shape cohesion, creating a smooth typographic “flow” across lines.
