A tall, tightly condensed italic sans with softly squared, superellipse-like curves and rounded terminals. Strokes are sturdy with gentle modulation, giving counters an oval-to-rectangular feel in letters like O, Q, and 0. The design maintains a strong forward slant and a compact rhythm, with narrow apertures and short crossbars that reinforce a streamlined vertical emphasis. Lowercase forms are similarly condensed, with a single-storey a and a narrow e, producing an efficient, high-density texture in text.
Best suited to short to medium-length display settings where a strong vertical profile and forward motion help grab attention—headlines, posters, sports or automotive-style branding, packaging callouts, and punchy signage. It can work for brief text blocks when generous leading and tracking are used to keep the condensed italic texture from feeling cramped.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, suggesting motion and impact. Its compressed stance and consistent slant feel sporty and retro-industrial, with a poster-like urgency that reads as confident rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, speed-forward voice in limited horizontal space. By combining condensed proportions with softened rectangular curves, it aims for a modernized retro feel that stays bold and readable at display sizes.
Round forms stay controlled and slightly squared, avoiding fully geometric circles. Numerals follow the same condensed, slanted structure, and the punctuation and diacritics shown sit cleanly without disrupting the tight cadence of the line.
