This typeface is a tall, tightly set italic sans with rounded, superellipse-like curves and softly squared terminals. Strokes are generally even with subtle contrast created by the slanted construction and curved joins. Counters are narrow and vertical, giving letters an upright, streamlined internal rhythm despite the strong forward lean. The overall silhouette is compact and elongated, with smooth curves on C/G/O and restrained, clean construction on straight-sided forms like E/F/H/N. Numerals follow the same condensed, slanted pattern, with open shapes and simple, legible structures.
It performs best in short to medium-length settings where its condensed, dynamic rhythm can add impact—headlines, posters, product packaging, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for subheads, pull quotes, and UI highlights when a fast, directional tone is desired, especially at sizes large enough to preserve its narrow interior spaces.
The forward slant and condensed proportions create a sense of motion and momentum, reading as sporty and energetic. Rounded corners keep the tone friendly and approachable rather than aggressive, while the narrow, tall build adds a sleek, modern edge with a light retro flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, motion-driven voice with clean sans construction and rounded geometry. Its shapes emphasize speed and vertical efficiency while staying approachable through softened corners and smooth curves.
The italics are integral to the design rather than a mere slant, with consistent diagonal stress and carefully controlled curvature. Bowls and loops stay compact, and many terminals finish with a gentle rounding that reinforces the smooth, streamlined character.
