A sharply slanted, condensed sans with tall proportions and a tightly packed rhythm. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with rounded-rectangle curves that keep bowls and counters narrow but smooth. Terminals are mostly clean and straight, and the overall drawing favors vertical tension and forward lean over broad horizontals, producing compact word shapes and strong headline density. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright-leaning construction for consistent color in mixed text.
Best suited to large sizes where its condensed width and strong slant can deliver impact—headlines, posters, campaign graphics, and title cards. It can also work for short bursts of text in branding or packaging where space is limited and a dynamic, forward-leaning voice is desired.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and display-driven, with a distinctly retro, poster-like urgency. Its compressed forms and pronounced slant suggest speed and motion, lending an energetic, attention-grabbing personality.
Likely designed to maximize impact and legibility in tight horizontal space while projecting speed and immediacy. The rounded-rect geometry and uniform stroke weight aim for a clean, contemporary structure that still feels dramatic and display-centric.
The italic angle is prominent enough to create a continuous diagonal flow across lines, while the narrow counters and tight apertures reinforce a dark, punchy texture. Round letters retain a squared-off softness, giving the face a modernized geometric feel rather than a purely technical one.
