A tightly condensed, right-slanted sans with sturdy, compact proportions and rounded-rectangle curves in bowls and counters. Strokes are heavy and fairly even, with subtle contrast showing most clearly in curved joins and terminals. The rhythm is vertical and fast, with narrow apertures and tightly packed interior spaces that emphasize density over openness. Terminals tend to be clean and slightly softened, and the overall construction feels engineered rather than calligraphic.
Works best in large sizes where its condensed structure and heavy strokes can deliver impact—headlines, poster titles, promotional graphics, and packaging panels with limited horizontal space. It also suits energetic branding contexts such as sports, events, or bold editorial callouts, especially when short phrases need to feel fast and emphatic.
The font reads as energetic and forceful, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests motion and urgency. Its compressed width and weight give it a commanding, attention-seeking tone suited to assertive messaging.
Likely designed to provide maximum visual impact in minimal width, combining a condensed italic posture with softened, superelliptical curves for a contemporary, streamlined look. The goal appears to be strong headline presence with consistent, tightly controlled spacing and a clear forward momentum.
Uppercase forms are tall and compact, while lowercase keeps a practical, readable silhouette at display sizes, with single-storey shapes where expected and a distinctly compressed texture in text lines. Numerals match the same narrow, slanted stance, maintaining consistency for headlines that mix letters and figures.
