A condensed, forward-slanted sans with compact proportions and a crisp, aerodynamic rhythm. Strokes are sturdy and mostly monolinear with subtle contrast, and terminals are clean and squared rather than rounded. Curves are tightened into narrow ovals, counters are small, and verticals feel dominant, giving the alphabet a tall, high-waisted stance. Overall spacing is tight and efficient, producing a dense, fast-looking texture in words and lines.
Best used for headlines, posters, pull quotes, and display typography where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It also suits sports-oriented branding, event graphics, and packaging callouts that benefit from a condensed footprint and strong directional emphasis. For longer passages, it works most comfortably as short bursts or highlighted phrases rather than continuous body text.
The overall tone is energetic and driven, with a sleek, speed-oriented feel that reads as sporty and slightly retro. Its sharp, condensed silhouette projects urgency and confidence, making it well-suited to attention-grabbing statements.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while emphasizing motion through a consistent slant and tight, tall forms. Its restrained detailing and clean terminals prioritize clarity at display sizes while maintaining a distinctive, energetic texture.
The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping long lines maintain a uniform forward motion. Figures follow the same narrow, oval logic as the letters, keeping a cohesive texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
