A condensed, right-slanted sans with rounded terminals and a largely monoline stroke. Curves are drawn as smooth ovals and open bowls, while straights stay slightly tapered through the slant, producing a quick, handwritten rhythm without actual joins. Counters are fairly open for the width, and the lowercase shows single-storey forms with compact apertures. Figures follow the same narrow proportions, with simple, legible shapes and a lightly angled axis that keeps the set cohesive.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as headlines, poster copy, packaging callouts, and brand marks where a condensed, energetic voice is helpful. It can work for brief captions or UI labels when space is tight, but the strong slant and narrow set are likely to feel busy in long paragraphs.
The overall tone feels informal and upbeat, with a mid‑century, sign-painting/advertising flavor. Its narrow, leaning stance conveys motion and efficiency, while the softened endings keep it approachable rather than technical.
Likely designed to provide a compact, italic-leaning sans for display use—combining space efficiency with a lively, retro-inspired texture that stands out in advertising-style typography.
The slant and tight proportions create a strong horizontal texture, so spacing and line breaks will be noticeable in longer settings. Capitals read cleanly and upright in structure despite the angle, while the lowercase adds the most personality through rounded bowls and compact joins.
