A tightly condensed, right-leaning sans with rounded-rectangle (superelliptical) geometry and softened corners throughout. Strokes show clear, moderate contrast and a slightly “shaved” or tapered feel at terminals, giving letters a brisk, streamlined rhythm. Curves in C/O/Q and bowls are compact and upright, while joins in forms like M/N/W read sturdy and vertical despite the oblique slant. Lowercase is simple and legible with a single-storey a and g, compact apertures, and rounded dots, creating a cohesive, compressed texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where space is limited but impact is needed: headlines, posters, packaging, and energetic brand accents. It can also work for subheads or pull quotes in editorial layouts when a condensed, dynamic voice is desired, while longer body text may feel too compressed and emphatic.
The overall tone feels fast and punchy—like vintage display typography tuned for motion, emphasis, and attitude. Its condensed italic stance adds a sense of speed and urgency, while the rounded, superelliptical construction keeps it friendly rather than harsh.
The design appears intended as a compact, high-impact italic sans that combines streamlined proportions with softened, superelliptical shapes. It prioritizes speed, density, and display clarity, aiming for a distinctive retro-leaning voice without decorative serifs.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and efficient, producing a dense typographic color that favors short lines and large sizes. Numerals follow the same condensed, rounded logic and read bold and poster-ready, with distinctive, narrow silhouettes.
