A compact, right-slanted sans with tightly proportioned letterforms and a brisk, forward-leaning rhythm. Strokes are sturdy with subtly tapered joins and rounded terminals, producing a smooth, continuous flow without sharp breaks. Curves are elliptical and somewhat condensed, while diagonals (notably in A, K, V, W, X) are emphasized, giving the design a fast, streamlined silhouette. Counters are relatively small and the overall fit is tight, which reinforces a punchy, efficient texture in text.
Best suited for short-form settings where impact and speed are desirable—headlines, posters, sports and event graphics, packaging callouts, and logo or wordmark work. It can also function for brief subheads or pull quotes where a condensed, energetic voice is needed, but its tight texture is less ideal for long reading at small sizes.
The overall tone feels energetic and sporty, with a retro display flavor reminiscent of racing, headlines, and brand marks that want motion and urgency. Its slant and compact build read as confident and expressive rather than quiet or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a sense of motion and immediacy through condensed proportions and a pronounced slant, while retaining clean, modern sans construction. It balances smooth curves with decisive diagonals to stay legible and bold in display applications.
Uppercase forms stay clean and simplified, while lowercase introduces more calligraphic inflection in letters like a, g, and y, adding personality without becoming script-like. Numerals are similarly slanted and bold-looking, with rounded curves that keep them cohesive alongside the letters.
