A compact, right-leaning sans with tall proportions and a tightly set, condensed footprint. Strokes are sturdy and mostly uniform, with subtle modulation from the italic construction and curved joins. Counters are relatively closed and oval, terminals are crisp and clean, and curves are smooth and controlled, producing a disciplined rhythm across text. The overall silhouette reads streamlined and vertical, with strong diagonals and a forward-driving stance.
It suits short-to-medium display settings where a condensed, forward-leaning voice helps convey urgency and drive—such as headlines, posters, and brand marks. It can also work well for sports and tech-facing applications, as well as packaging or labels that benefit from strong presence in limited horizontal space.
The font projects speed and momentum, pairing a confident, punchy weight with an aerodynamic italic slant. Its tone feels contemporary and performance-oriented—more about impact and motion than softness or ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact, space-efficient typography with a fast, modern feel. Its condensed proportions and firm stroke weight prioritize attention and legibility at display sizes while maintaining a clean, contemporary sans character.
Uppercase forms maintain a consistent, narrow structure that keeps headings compact, while the lowercase shows a similarly tight rhythm that holds together well in continuous lines. Numerals are similarly condensed and upright in feel despite the overall slant, reinforcing a cohesive, energetic texture across mixed content.
