A tall, tightly set italic sans with strongly condensed proportions and a persistent rightward slant. Strokes are weighty and fairly uniform, with gentle modulation visible in curved joins, and terminals that feel clean rather than calligraphic. Curves are built from softened, rounded-rectangle geometry, giving letters like O, C, and G a squarish roundness instead of perfect circles. Counters are compact but open enough to remain legible at display sizes, and the overall rhythm is vertical and fast, with narrow sidebearings and crisp silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, and brand marks where a compact footprint and strong presence are needed. It will also work well for packaging, labels, and sports or event graphics that benefit from an energetic italic gesture and dense typographic color.
The tone is bold and driven, with a forward-leaning, high-impact voice that reads as modern and kinetic. Its condensed build and taut spacing create urgency and intensity, making it feel suited to attention-grabbing messaging rather than quiet, editorial text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, pairing condensed, slanted letterforms with softened geometric curves for a contemporary display voice. The consistent, sturdy strokes and rounded-rectangular bowls suggest an aim for both punch and approachability.
Lowercase forms keep a straightforward, utilitarian construction, while the numerals match the same tall, condensed stance for consistent vertical color. The combination of rounded geometry and strong compression creates a distinctive “softened industrial” look: sturdy, but not harsh.
