A tall, tightly condensed sans with a consistent monoline stroke and a pronounced rightward slant. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters an elongated, superelliptical feel rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are clean and minimally treated, with a smooth, continuous rhythm through joins and curves; diagonals and verticals stay crisp and narrow, producing an upright, streamlined texture even in longer lines. Numerals follow the same narrow, elongated construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited for display settings where a compact footprint and strong vertical rhythm are desirable—posters, headlines, title treatments, and branding marks. It can work in short bursts for packaging or editorial callouts, especially where a retro-modern, streamlined look is wanted, but its condensed slanted forms are most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is sleek and fast, evoking mid‑century modern display typography and automotive or travel-era lettering. Its narrow, slanted stance reads energetic and stylish, balancing a technical clarity with a fashion-forward edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, space-saving display voice with a smooth, rounded-rectangle construction and a continuous oblique flow. It prioritizes style, speed, and recognizable silhouette over neutrality, offering a distinctive condensed texture for contemporary or vintage-leaning layouts.
The extreme condensation creates a strong vertical emphasis and a distinctive word shape, while the rounded-square curve language keeps the forms soft rather than sharp. In text, the tight proportions amplify motion and drama, making spacing and line length feel more “poster-like” than neutral.
