A tightly condensed sans with a pronounced back-slant and compact proportions throughout. Strokes are largely monoline, with rounded-rectangle curves that keep counters narrow and corners softly squared rather than fully circular. Terminals tend to end bluntly, and the geometry stays tall and compressed, producing a dense vertical texture. Round letters like O/C/G read as superelliptical, while diagonals and joins add a slightly irregular cadence that keeps the face from feeling purely mechanical.
Best suited to display settings where tall, compressed letterforms help fit long words into limited width—posters, headlines, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can work for short bursts of text such as labels, pull quotes, or signage, where the distinctive back-slant and tight counters remain legible and intentional.
The overall tone is energetic and off-kilter, combining a utilitarian condensed feel with a playful, slightly rebellious slant. It evokes a retro display sensibility—more poster and headline than neutral UI—while staying clean and sans-driven.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum vertical presence in a compact footprint, using a consistent monoline build and rounded-rectangle curves for a modernized retro voice. The strong back-slant and dense spacing suggest a focus on attention-grabbing display typography rather than neutrality.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and compact, with narrow apertures and tightened internal space. The figures follow the same condensed logic, with sturdy, simplified shapes that maintain the blunt, squared-round endings seen in the letters. In text, the back-slant is strong enough to become a defining stylistic cue, shaping line rhythm and making the font feel in motion.
