A highly condensed sans with a left-leaning (reverse-italic) posture and tall proportions. Strokes are largely monolinear with minimal contrast, and terminals tend toward squared-off cuts with occasional soft rounding, giving many counters a rounded-rectangle feel. Curves are tightened and verticals dominate, producing a compact rhythm; widths vary noticeably by letter, so the texture alternates between very tight and slightly more open shapes. The overall drawing feels deliberately irregular in detail—some joins and bowls pinch or flare subtly—while maintaining consistent stroke weight and a coherent, narrow silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and logo wordmarks where its compressed width and reverse slant can create a distinctive silhouette. It also works well for editorial display lines and short pull quotes, especially where a tight horizontal footprint is useful.
The font reads as retro and slightly eccentric, with a brisk, poster-like energy. Its reverse slant and compressed forms add tension and motion, lending a playful, idiosyncratic tone that can feel both vintage and contemporary depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum character in minimal width: a condensed, monoline sans with a reverse-italic lean and rounded-rectangle geometry to evoke a stylized retro display voice. Its subtle irregularities and variable set widths suggest a focus on expressive texture over strict neutrality.
Capitals are especially tall and linear, while the lowercase keeps a prominent x-height that reinforces legibility at display sizes. Numerals share the same condensed, upright-to-left-leaning stance, with simplified shapes and tight internal space that match the alphabet’s compact cadence.
