A tightly condensed, forward-slanted sans with tall proportions and compact spacing. Strokes stay largely monolinear, producing a clean, graphic silhouette, while terminals are smoothly rounded for a softened edge. Counters are relatively small and vertical, and the overall rhythm emphasizes speed through consistent slant and narrow set widths. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian structure (single-storey a and g), and the figures follow the same condensed, streamlined construction for a unified texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, sports or streetwear branding, promotional graphics, and packaging where space is tight but presence is required. It can also work for UI labels or signage when used at sufficient size and with generous line spacing to offset the slant and condensed density.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and contemporary—like typography built for motion and immediacy. Its slanted stance and compressed forms read as energetic and slightly aggressive, while the rounded shaping keeps it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a consistent italic drive with rounded, modern sans construction. It prioritizes a strong, fast visual voice and a uniform, graphic texture for display-led typography.
In longer lines, the narrow set creates a dense, poster-like color; the pronounced slant strengthens directional flow but can reduce comfort at small sizes. Round letters (O/Q/0) read as tall ovals with softened corners, reinforcing the font’s streamlined, aerodynamic feel.
