A condensed, oblique sans with a monoline feel and a distinctly angular construction. Curves are tightened into rounded-rectangle bowls and squared counters, while terminals often finish in sharp, wedge-like cuts that suggest speed and forward motion. The design keeps a consistent stroke weight, but introduces deliberate irregularity in how joins, diagonals, and caps resolve, giving the alphabet a slightly skewed, custom-drawn rhythm. Numerals follow the same narrow, slanted, squared-off logic, with compact forms and crisp corners.
Best used at display sizes where its quirky geometry and fast slant can be appreciated—posters, headlines, event promos, packaging, and brand marks that want a retro-leaning, offbeat voice. It can also work for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes) when a distinctive, kinetic texture is desired.
The overall tone is energetic and unconventional—part retro display, part playful experiment. Its sharp terminals and compressed stance evoke motion and attitude, while the slightly idiosyncratic shapes keep it from feeling purely utilitarian.
The letterforms appear designed to prioritize personality and motion over strict typographic orthodoxy, combining condensed proportions with squared curves and sharp, stylized terminals. The intent reads as a one-off display style that feels custom, energetic, and deliberately irregular to stand out in contemporary graphic layouts.
The caps read tall and lean with prominent diagonals, and the lowercase maintains a similar upright-to-oblique tension with tight apertures and compact bowls. In running text the slant and narrow set create a strong horizontal flow, making the texture lively rather than neutral.
