A condensed sans with tall proportions and a consistent forward-leaning slant. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, with softened corners and rounded-rectangle geometry shaping bowls and counters. Terminals are mostly blunt and cut straight, producing a tight, stacked rhythm in text, while curves (C, G, O, S, 0, 8, 9) read as squared-off rounds rather than perfect circles. The overall color is dense and compact, with narrow apertures and minimal internal space in several letters and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where a compact, high-impact voice is desired, such as posters, packaging callouts, and brand marks. It can also work for subheads and signage when set with ample tracking and generous line spacing to maintain clarity.
The font projects energy and motion through its oblique stance and tightly compressed forms. Its chunky, compact presence feels attention-grabbing and slightly retro, with a playful, display-forward tone rather than a quiet editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a strong slant with softened, rounded-rectangular forms for a distinctive, contemporary-display take on condensed sans lettering.
In longer lines the slant and condensed width create a strong diagonal flow, while the rounded-rectangle construction keeps the shapes cohesive and logo-like. The numerals match the letterforms in weight and stance, supporting bold, punchy typographic blocks.
