A tall, tightly set sans with an oblique slant and monoline stroke weight. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a softly squared, superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with subtle irregularities that read as lightly hand-drawn; this produces a lively rhythm across words. The condensed proportions and generous verticality create strong columnar texture, while capitals and figures maintain a consistent, simplified construction.
Best suited to display settings where a condensed, energetic voice helps text cut through: posters, headlines, packaging, and signage. It also works well for short editorial callouts and branding accents where a retro, handmade texture is desirable. For longer passages, it benefits from generous tracking and line spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is retro and informal, like mid-century signage or handmade poster lettering. Its slight roughness and forward lean add energy and a friendly, unpolished confidence. The narrow, upright presence keeps it punchy and attention-grabbing without feeling heavy.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans with a retro sign-painting flavor, combining superelliptical roundness with a slightly imperfect, human rhythm. Its narrow build and oblique stance suggest an emphasis on vertical momentum and space-efficient display typography.
Round letters (like O/C) show a distinctly squarish roundness, and joins in letters like M/N/W read firm and graphic. The numerals follow the same tall, simplified logic, helping mixed text keep a consistent color. The italics-like slant is integral to the design rather than a separate styling layer.
