A sharply slanted, ultra-condensed sans with monolinear strokes and rounded terminals. The letterforms are tall and ribbon-like, with tight apertures and a consistent forward lean that creates strong diagonal rhythm across words. Curves are built from smooth, rounded-rectangle geometry, giving counters an elongated, softly squared feel. Ascenders and descenders run long, and many lowercase forms (notably g, j, y) use looped constructions that emphasize vertical flow while keeping overall stroke behavior clean and uniform.
Best suited for display settings where its condensed, energetic texture can work as a visual hook—headlines, posters, covers, brand wordmarks, and packaging accents. It can also serve as a secondary typeface for short editorial callouts or captions when set with generous leading and careful tracking.
The overall tone feels streamlined and fast, with a retro display flavor reminiscent of mid‑century headline typography and futurist titling. Its narrow, tilted cadence adds urgency and motion, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum vertical elegance and speed in a small horizontal footprint, pairing a clean sans structure with rounded, superelliptic curves. The goal seems to be a distinctive display voice that evokes retro-futurist sophistication while remaining minimal and monolinear.
In the text sample, spacing appears deliberately tight, and the pronounced slant makes horizontal lines feel dynamic. The combination of extreme condensation and extended extenders creates a distinctive texture that reads as graphic patterning at larger sizes.
