A tall, tightly condensed sans with a pronounced rightward slant and heavy, uniform strokes. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: bowls and counters read as narrow superelliptical ovals, while terminals are blunt and squared-off, keeping the silhouette compact and emphatic. The rhythm is dense with short apertures and tight internal spaces, producing a continuous vertical drive; diagonals in letters like N, V, W, and X are steep and sturdy, reinforcing a streamlined, compressed texture. Numerals follow the same narrow, vertical construction for consistent color in headlines.
Best suited to posters, headline systems, and short bursts of copy where compact width and strong presence are advantages. It also fits sports branding, apparel graphics, and packaging or labels that need a punchy, space-saving display face.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and attention-grabbing, with a display-forward intensity that suggests speed, pressure, and impact. Its steep slant and condensed massing give it a competitive, high-energy voice suitable for bold messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing a strong slant with rounded-rectangular construction to create a fast, modern display voice. Its consistent stroke weight and compact counters prioritize bold legibility and high visual density over quiet reading comfort.
At text sizes the narrow counters and tight apertures can close up, so it benefits from generous tracking and ample line spacing. The strongest impression comes from its tall caps, compact lowercase, and the consistent rounded-rectangle logic across straight and curved strokes.
