A tightly condensed, right-slanted sans with monoline strokes and soft, rounded terminals. Curves and counters are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving O/C/S and the bowls of B/P/R a superelliptical feel rather than a purely circular one. The design runs tall with compact spacing and a lively, slightly uneven rhythm from varying glyph widths; diagonals are crisp and straight, and joins stay clean without decorative flourishes.
Best suited for short bursts of text where space is tight and impact matters: headlines, poster titles, packaging panels, and brand wordmarks. It also fits motion graphics and sports/tech-themed layouts where a sense of speed and compression supports the message.
The overall tone is fast and streamlined—suggesting speed, efficiency, and a modern-retro display attitude. Its narrow, leaning stance reads energetic and slightly urgent, with a utilitarian clarity that still feels stylized.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed italic voice that maximizes character per line while maintaining a smooth, rounded-rect geometry. It prioritizes momentum and compactness, pairing a clean sans skeleton with softened corners to keep the texture approachable rather than harsh.
In text, the condensed proportions create strong vertical texture and a continuous forward motion. Numerals follow the same tall, compact logic, and the lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms with pronounced ascenders/descenders that reinforce the narrow, high-reaching profile.
