A tall, condensed sans with a consistent slant and a mostly monoline stroke. Curves are narrow and elongated, with rounded, superellipse-like bowls that stay compact while vertical stems stretch high. Terminals are clean and simple, producing a crisp silhouette, while subtle irregularities in curvature and spacing give the rhythm a slightly hand-drawn, lively texture. Figures follow the same narrow, upright-to-slanted structure with streamlined forms that align well with the letters.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and packaging where a compact footprint is useful and the slanted rhythm can add energy. It also works well for editorial pull quotes or brand wordmarks that want a tall, stylish presence without heavy stroke weight.
The overall tone feels quick, lightweight, and a bit vintage—like mid-century display lettering translated into a clean, modern outline. Its narrow, forward-leaning stance adds motion and urgency, while the simplified shapes keep it approachable rather than formal.
The font appears designed to deliver a space-saving, high-impact display voice with a fast, forward motion and simplified sans construction. Its narrow proportions and rounded-rectangle curves suggest an intention to evoke retro modern flavor while staying clean and legible at larger sizes.
The design relies on verticality and tight internal counters, creating strong word shapes in short lines and headlines. In longer text, the condensed proportions and energetic slant can become visually busy, especially where many tall strokes cluster together.
