A tightly condensed, right-leaning sans with tall proportions and compact counters. Strokes stay largely uniform, with rounded-rectangle shaping on curves that keeps bowls and shoulders smooth and controlled. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, and the overall rhythm is narrow and fast, with crisp joins and minimal ornamentation. Numerals follow the same compact, upright-leaning construction, reading as sturdy and space-efficient.
It performs best in headlines, posters, and short punchy phrases where condensed width helps fit more characters without losing presence. The energetic slant and sturdy construction also suit sports and fitness branding, packaging callouts, and directional or informational graphics where a compact, high-impact voice is needed.
The font conveys speed and momentum, with a compressed silhouette that feels assertive and purposeful. Its crisp, no-nonsense shapes suggest contemporary utility—more about impact and clarity than softness or tradition.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a forward slant with streamlined, rounded-rectilinear curves for a modern, efficient look. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and quick readability for display-oriented typography.
Uppercase forms keep a disciplined, vertical emphasis, while lowercase retains a simple, workmanlike feel with single-storey constructions where visible. The strong slant and narrow set create a distinctive texture in paragraphs, making it most comfortable at display sizes where the tight spacing and tall forms can breathe.
