A condensed, right-slanted sans with tall proportions and compact, superelliptical curves. Strokes stay largely monolinear, with smooth rounded corners and flattened oval counters that keep bowls tight and efficient. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, producing a crisp rhythm despite the soft geometry. The overall texture is dense and vertical, with slightly varied character widths that maintain a lively cadence without breaking consistency.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and branding where a compact, energetic slant adds momentum. It works well on posters, packaging, and sports or automotive-style graphics that benefit from a dense, vertical footprint. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous line spacing help preserve clarity in the tighter interior spaces.
The font projects a fast, athletic tone—leaning forward with a sense of motion and pressure. Its compact shapes and dark, steady stroke color feel utilitarian and contemporary, suggesting performance, efficiency, and impact. The rounded construction softens the aggressiveness, keeping the voice modern rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact condensed italic with rounded-rectangular construction—balancing speed and softness. It prioritizes a strong silhouette, efficient spacing, and a consistent monoline feel to stay legible and bold in display settings while maintaining a contemporary, engineered character.
In text lines, the narrow set and steep slant create a strong directional flow, making the italic voice feel integral rather than an afterthought. Numerals match the condensed, rounded-rectangle logic, reading sturdy and headline-oriented. The design’s compact counters and tight apertures favor display sizes where the dense silhouette becomes a feature rather than a limitation.
