A tightly condensed, right-leaning typeface with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Curves are drawn with a narrow oval logic, producing compact bowls and counters, while straight strokes stay tense and upright in structure despite the slant. The overall rhythm is energetic and slightly irregular in color due to strong contrast and the compressed widths, giving lines a fast, vertical cadence. Numerals follow the same condensed, high-contrast build, with notably slender figures and sharp joins.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, and branding where a compact footprint and high impact are useful. It can work well on packaging or campaign graphics that need a fast, energetic feel, and it particularly suits short phrases, logos, and titling where its narrow, high-contrast forms remain clear.
The font conveys speed and intensity, with a forward-leaning, poster-like presence. Its compressed proportions and dramatic stroke contrast create a confident, attention-seeking tone that feels vintage-leaning and performance-oriented rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while projecting motion and drama. Its slanted stance, condensed build, and high-contrast strokes suggest a focus on eye-catching display typography with a streamlined, performance-minded character.
At larger sizes the sharp terminals and contrast read as stylish and expressive; in longer text, the narrow counters and strong modulation can make spacing feel tight and increase visual density. It performs best when given generous tracking and line spacing, where its vertical rhythm and slanted momentum can breathe.
