A tall, tightly set sans with a pronounced rightward slant and compact proportions. Strokes are largely monoline with soft, rounded corners and oval/superelliptical bowls, producing a smooth, slightly mechanical rhythm. Terminals tend to be blunt or gently curved, and many forms show subtle inward tapering at joins that keeps counters open despite the compressed width. Figures follow the same narrow, rounded construction, reading cleanly in a vertical, upright-friendly texture even with the italic angle.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging fronts, and attention-grabbing labels. The condensed, slanted silhouette is useful where horizontal space is limited but a dynamic, high-impact voice is desired.
The overall tone is fast and streamlined, with a retro utilitarian feel reminiscent of mid‑century signage and sporty wordmarks. Its narrow, slanted stance adds urgency and motion, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive.
The font appears designed to deliver a compact, motion-oriented sans that stays legible through rounded geometry and open counters. Its consistent monoline construction suggests an intention toward clean reproduction across print and screen while retaining a distinctive, retro-leaning personality.
The design maintains consistent curvature across bowls and corners, giving the alphabet a unified, engineered look. Uppercase and lowercase share a similar narrow cadence, and the numerals echo the same rounded-rectangle logic for a cohesive alphanumeric set.
