A compact, oblique sans with heavy, even strokes and smooth, rounded curves. The letterforms are tightly proportioned with a relatively tall, upright interior structure that leans forward, creating a strong sense of motion. Counters are clean and open for the style, terminals are mostly blunt, and joins are sturdy, giving the design a dense, high-impact texture in lines of text. Overall rhythm is consistent and controlled, with slightly varying character widths that keep words lively without feeling irregular.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and assertive UI or wayfinding labels. It can work for brief paragraphs when set with ample spacing, but it is at its strongest in display and emphasis roles where its forward-leaning energy is an advantage.
The forward slant and concentrated proportions communicate speed and energy, while the solid weight reads as confident and decisive. It feels contemporary and utilitarian, with a tone that suits action-oriented messaging rather than quiet, editorial nuance.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, impactful voice: a condensed, slanted sans that maximizes presence in limited horizontal space while maintaining clean, rounded construction for legibility and consistency.
In the sample text, the slant and weight create a continuous dark stripe, so generous tracking and line spacing help preserve clarity at smaller sizes. The figures match the letterforms’ compact, sturdy build, supporting cohesive numeric-heavy settings.
