A tall, tightly condensed sans with a consistent monoline stroke and a pronounced reverse slant. Forms are built from straight stems and narrow rounded-rectangle counters, with squared terminals and minimal curvature overall. Curves in letters like C, O, and G read as superelliptical, giving the design a rigid, engineered feel. Spacing is compact and the rhythm is vertical and staccato, with simplified joins and sharp diagonals in letters such as K, V, W, and Y.
Best suited for display sizes where its condensed proportions and unusual slant can read clearly—posters, headlines, titles, and branding marks. It also fits sci‑fi and tech-themed graphics, gaming interfaces, and album/film title treatments where a tense, high-energy texture is desirable.
The font projects a techy, slightly abrasive attitude—modern, wiry, and intentionally unconventional. Its backward-leaning stance and skinny geometry create tension and motion, making it feel more experimental than neutral. The overall tone is suited to designs that want to look futuristic, edgy, or synthetic.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, futuristic condensed voice by combining monoline construction with superelliptical counters and a reverse-leaning posture. Its simplified geometry and tight width emphasize vertical momentum and visual tension, prioritizing character and impact over neutrality.
Distinctive detailing includes narrow rectangular bowls and apertures, a sharply jointed S, and a compact, boxy approach to rounded letters. The numerals follow the same straightened, geometric logic, emphasizing verticality and sharp corners for a cohesive display texture.
