A condensed sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves, giving counters and bowls a superelliptical feel. Strokes are largely monoline with minimal contrast, and terminals are clean and blunt rather than tapered. The overall posture leans noticeably backward, creating a consistent reverse-italic slant across both cases. Proportions are tall and compact, with tight interior spacing in narrow letters and slightly more open forms in round characters, producing a subtly uneven, hand-set rhythm.
Best suited to short to medium text at display sizes where the reverse slant and condensed proportions can read clearly. It works well for headlines, branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from a quirky, geometric voice, and can also serve as an accent face in editorial layouts when paired with a more neutral text font.
The backward-leaning stance and condensed build create a playful, slightly mischievous tone—more whimsical than formal. Its soft-corner geometry reads friendly and approachable, while the off-kilter slant adds energy and a bit of eccentric personality.
The design appears intended to combine a compact, space-saving footprint with a soft geometric construction and an intentionally unconventional backward slant. The result is a distinctive sans aimed at characterful display typography rather than neutrality.
Uppercase forms feel poster-like and vertical, while lowercase maintains a simple, single-storey vocabulary (notably the ‘a’ and ‘g’) that reinforces an informal, contemporary sign-painting vibe. Numerals follow the same condensed, rounded-rect logic and sit comfortably alongside text without calling attention to themselves.
