A condensed sans with a pronounced forward-leaning stance and compact proportions. Strokes are heavy and largely monolinear, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves that keep counters open while maintaining a dense, sturdy silhouette. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, and many forms show subtle, consistent tapering and slight angularity in joins that add snap without introducing true contrast. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with tall capitals and sturdy lowercase shapes that read cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where its condensed width and heavy strokes can create strong impact. It works well for posters, packaging, branding marks, and signage that benefit from a compact footprint and bold presence, especially when a lively slanted tone is desired.
The face feels assertive and energetic, combining a utilitarian, poster-like solidity with a friendly softness from its rounded geometry. Its slanted posture adds motion and a slightly mischievous tone, giving the alphabet a sporty, attention-grabbing character.
The design appears aimed at delivering high-impact display typography in tight spaces, pairing a condensed build with rounded-rectangular geometry for clarity and warmth. The consistent slant and sturdy construction suggest an intention to feel dynamic and modern while retaining a retro-leaning, poster-ready simplicity.
Round letters like O/Q and numerals like 0/8 emphasize rounded-rectangular construction rather than perfect circles, reinforcing a cohesive geometric theme. The digits are weighty and straightforward, matching the letterforms for strong, uniform color in headlines.
