A sharply condensed sans with a pronounced forward slant and very tall proportions. Strokes stay consistently thin with minimal contrast, creating a crisp, linear rhythm. Curves are tightly controlled and read as rounded-rectangle forms rather than broad, circular bowls, while terminals are mostly clean and direct. Counters are narrow and vertical, and the overall texture is airy and high-strung, with tight internal spacing and an upright, streamlined silhouette even in the slanted stance.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed, slanted forms can add urgency and style—headlines, posters, branding wordmarks, and editorial covers or section openers. It can also work for packaging and labels when you want a streamlined, high-fashion feel, especially in short bursts of text.
The tone is sleek and kinetic, suggesting speed, precision, and a contemporary edge. Its narrow, leaning posture evokes fashion and editorial typography as well as retro-futurist signage, balancing cool restraint with a sense of motion.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, space-efficient display voice with a strong sense of forward motion. By combining tight proportions with controlled, rounded-rectangle curves and clean terminals, it aims for a distinctive, stylish presence that stands out at larger sizes.
In text, the condensed spacing and tall shapes produce a strong vertical cadence and a distinctive, high-impact color. Round characters stay compact and taut, and diagonals in letters like V/W/X add extra snap to the rhythm, reinforcing the font’s brisk, display-oriented personality.
