A condensed, right-leaning sans with smooth, rounded contours and a distinctly drawn, brushlike construction. Strokes are heavy with subtly modulated thickness, producing a slightly calligraphic rhythm without breaking into true script. Terminals are generally softened and tapered, and curves (C, G, S, 0, 8) are compact and tightly bowed, reinforcing the narrow set width. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms where expected (notably a and g), with a clean, open construction and compact counters; joins and bends read as continuous, giving the face a cohesive, flowing texture in lines of text.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, and bold editorial callouts where a compact, energetic italic can maximize impact in limited horizontal space. It can work effectively for branding and packaging that want a retro-sport or promotional voice, and for short subheads or pull quotes when paired with a calmer text face.
The overall tone is fast and energetic, with a confident, attention-grabbing presence. Its slant and condensed proportions suggest motion and urgency, while the rounded, brushed contours keep it approachable rather than technical. The vibe leans retro and promotional, reminiscent of mid-century display lettering and sporty headline typography.
The design appears intended as a high-impact condensed italic for display use, combining sans simplicity with a brushed, hand-drawn flow to convey speed and emphasis. Its proportions and softened terminals prioritize expressive silhouette and tight headline setting over quiet, extended reading.
In the text sample, spacing and rhythm create a strong vertical cadence typical of condensed italics, making lines feel tightly packed and purposeful. The numerals appear similarly condensed and slanted, maintaining consistency with the letters, and the design reads best when given enough size to let the tapered terminals and compact counters remain clear.
