A compact, highly condensed sans with a steady rightward slant and rounded-rectangle construction in both curves and terminals. Strokes stay mostly uniform, with softened joins and subtly tapered ends that keep counters open despite the tight set width. Uppercase forms are tall and narrow with simplified geometry, while the lowercase remains similarly upright in structure but leans consistently, producing a brisk horizontal rhythm. Numerals follow the same condensed, rounded logic, with clear differentiation and consistent stroke texture.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and display settings where space is tight but impact is needed—such as sports graphics, event posters, product packaging, and brand lockups. It can work for short bursts of text in captions or callouts, but its condensed, slanted forms are most effective when used large or with generous leading.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, with a sporty, poster-like presence that feels a bit retro while staying clean and modern. Its slanted stance and compact proportions communicate motion and urgency, making it read as energetic and attention-seeking rather than formal or quiet.
This design appears intended to deliver high impact in narrow spaces by combining condensed proportions with rounded, superelliptical shapes and a consistent forward slant. The goal seems to be a clean, contemporary display sans that reads quickly and projects momentum.
The narrow widths and italic angle create strong word-shape silhouettes, especially in mixed case, and the rounded terminals prevent the condensed forms from feeling brittle. The texture is dense but even, giving it a solid, cohesive color in headlines and short lines.
