A tall, condensed sans with a consistent monoline stroke and a subtle backward slant that gives the forms a distinctive, leaning posture. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle logic, producing softened corners and oval counters rather than perfect circles. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with occasional gentle hooking on letters like r and t, and the overall texture stays even and open despite the narrow proportions. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright-to-leaning rhythm, with a single-storey 1 and a compact, looped 9 that reinforces the condensed vertical emphasis.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed width and quirky slant can carry personality—posters, titles, short headlines, packaging, and brand marks. It can work for brief editorial callouts or captions when generous tracking and line spacing are available.
The backward slant and lanky proportions create a quirky, slightly mischievous tone—more characterful than neutral. It reads as retro-modern and playful, with a hand-drawn poster energy while still keeping a tidy, graphic discipline.
Likely designed as a characterful condensed sans that stands out through posture and rounded-rect geometry rather than heavy weight or high contrast. The goal appears to be a distinctive display voice with consistent, economical strokes and a rhythmic, animated texture in running lines.
The narrow set and leaning stance create a strong horizontal flow in text, and the rounded-rectangle construction keeps joints and bowls from feeling sharp. Round letters like O/Q and C/G emphasize ovality, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) stay crisp and angular, adding lively rhythm.
