This typeface is extremely tall and condensed with a pronounced left-leaning oblique stance. Strokes are essentially monoline, producing an even, steady color, while curves and terminals are softened into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) forms rather than true circles. Counters are compact and vertical, and many joins feel slightly pinched, emphasizing a narrow, upright rhythm. The overall spacing and widths vary subtly by character, giving the line a lively, uneven cadence despite the consistent stroke weight.
Best suited to display settings where height and condensation help fit long words into tight columns: posters, headlines, magazine features, and brand marks. It can also work on packaging or signage when a distinctive, upright texture is desired. For longer reading, it will be more effective in short bursts (titles, pull quotes, and labels) than in extended paragraphs.
The combination of narrow proportions and a reverse-leaning slant creates a slightly rebellious, kinetic tone. Its rounded-rect geometry reads contemporary and designed, while the exaggerated verticality adds a playful, poster-like personality. Overall, it feels modern, quirky, and attention-seeking without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum personality and vertical impact in minimal horizontal space. By pairing monoline construction with rounded-rect curves and an unconventional reverse oblique, it aims to feel contemporary and memorable while remaining clean and sans in structure.
The face maintains a clean sans structure, but the reverse slant and tall proportions make it more of a display companion than a neutral workhorse. Numerals and caps share the same compressed, elongated build, which supports a cohesive vertical texture across mixed content.
