A tall, tightly set sans with a pronounced forward slant and compact letterfit. Strokes are largely monoline, with rounded-rectangle curves and softened corners that keep counters open despite the condensed proportions. Terminals tend to be clean and blunt, and curves are drawn with a superelliptical smoothness rather than geometric circles, producing upright-looking bowls that feel engineered. Overall rhythm is vertical and energetic, with consistent stroke behavior across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where a compact, high-impact voice is needed—headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, packaging callouts, and space-constrained signage. The narrow width and strong slant help it stand out in stacked layouts and tight columns while keeping letterforms clean and readable.
The font projects speed and momentum, with a streamlined, mechanical confidence. Its condensed, slanted stance reads assertive and performance-oriented, suggesting motion, efficiency, and a slightly retro utilitarian flavor.
Designed to deliver a condensed, fast-looking sans for attention-grabbing typography, combining rounded-rectangular curves with simplified, monoline construction to maintain clarity in tight widths. The consistent forward slant and engineered shapes appear intended to evoke motion and modern utility without decorative detailing.
Uppercase forms feel especially tall and narrow, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation and legibility through generous apertures and simplified shapes. Numerals follow the same narrow, forward-leaning construction, making them visually cohesive for scoreboard-like or technical settings.
