A tall, tightly condensed sans with a strong rightward slant and compact proportions. Strokes stay largely uniform, with rounded-rectangle curves and softened corners that keep counters narrow but clean. The overall construction is streamlined and vertical, with long ascenders/descenders, small apertures, and a brisk rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same condensed, monoline feel, reading clearly while maintaining the typeface’s narrow footprint.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a condensed footprint is useful and a kinetic tone is desirable. It also fits sports or event graphics, editorial pull quotes, and titling where strong vertical emphasis and fast rhythm help text stand out in limited space.
The font projects speed and urgency, with a punchy, poster-like presence. Its compressed width and forward slant create a sense of motion, while the rounded geometry adds a slightly retro, industrial smoothness rather than sharp aggression. Overall it feels confident, high-impact, and built for attention.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in minimal width: a condensed, forward-leaning sans with rounded superelliptic structure for a modernized retro feel. It prioritizes bold silhouette, fast reading at display sizes, and a consistent, engineered look across letters and numerals.
The narrow counters and tight internal spaces give it a compact texture that can look dense in long lines, especially at smaller sizes. In display settings, the consistent stroke weight and rounded shapes produce a crisp, unified silhouette that holds together well across mixed-case and numerals.
