A condensed oblique sans with tall proportions and a strong forward lean. Strokes are largely monoline with minimal contrast, and curves are built from smooth, rounded-rectangular (superellipse-like) forms that keep counters compact and controlled. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, producing a crisp, engineered rhythm, while the narrow set width and tight sidebearings create a dense, continuous texture in text. Uppercase shapes are assertive and vertical, and the lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian construction with compact bowls and clear joins.
Best suited to display roles where a compact, high-impact italic can punch through—sports and fitness identities, event posters, promotional headlines, packaging callouts, and wayfinding or labels where vertical space is limited. It can work for short blurbs or subheads, but the dense texture and steep slant are most effective in larger sizes and shorter runs.
The overall tone is fast, focused, and functional, with a compressed, slanted stance that suggests speed and momentum. It reads as contemporary and performance-oriented, leaning toward an athletic or industrial voice rather than casual or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum intensity and space efficiency through a condensed, forward-leaning structure and simplified, rounded geometry. It prioritizes a strong, modern silhouette and a consistent rhythm over softness or typographic delicacy.
The heavy, condensed build and steep slant create a pronounced rightward flow that can feel intense in long passages. Its compact counters and dense spacing favor impactful lines and stacked settings where economy of space and a strong visual push are desired.
