A compressed, right-slanted sans with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, wedge-like terminals. The heavy stems pair with hairline connections and tapered joins, creating a punchy rhythm that reads as both streamlined and aggressive. Counters are generally compact, with rounded forms (like O/0) drawn as tall ovals and straighter-sided letters (like H/N) kept tightly proportioned. Numerals follow the same condensed, high-impact construction, with strong vertical emphasis and cut-in apertures that maintain clarity at display sizes.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, and short punchy phrases where contrast and slant can do the work of adding urgency and style. It also fits logotypes and branding that want a sleek, performance-oriented feel, as well as packaging or cover treatments that benefit from a condensed, high-impact voice.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with an editorial polish that suggests speed and intensity. Its steep slant and sharp thinning give it a sporty, poster-like energy, while the high-contrast shapes nod to vintage display typography and headline styling.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in minimal horizontal space, combining a forward-leaning stance with strong contrast to create a fast, attention-grabbing display texture. It prioritizes distinctive silhouettes and a taut, modern rhythm for prominent, high-visibility typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent forward lean and a strong vertical stress, helping long lines feel fast-moving and tightly packed. Spacing appears tuned for headline use: dense but readable, with distinctive silhouettes that keep characters from collapsing into one another despite the compression.
