A condensed, slanted sans with monoline strokes and softly squared curves that read like rounded-rectangle constructions rather than perfect circles. Counters are compact and vertically oriented, with a tall overall proportion and tight sidebearings that create a brisk horizontal rhythm. Terminals are clean and blunt, and the slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving lines of text a continuous forward lean. Lowercase forms stay simple and upright in structure despite the slant, with single‑storey a and g and compact bowls that keep textures even.
Well suited to short to medium text in display contexts where a distinctive slanted voice is desirable, such as posters, headlines, branding systems, packaging, and labels. It can also work for UI accents or navigation elements when used at sizes that preserve its condensed counters and tight rhythm.
The design feels upbeat and slightly eccentric, combining a utilitarian sans skeleton with a lively, off-kilter slant. Its rounded geometry adds approachability, while the condensed build and brisk rhythm lend a punchy, poster-like energy.
The font appears designed to deliver a recognizable, energetic sans tone by combining condensed proportions with softened superellipse-like curves and a consistent reverse slant. The goal seems to be a friendly display style that stays clean and systematic while remaining visually characterful.
Capitals are tall and narrow with straightforward joins and minimal modulation, while the numerals share the same condensed, rounded-rectangular logic for a cohesive set. The overall impression is clean and modern, but with a subtle retro sign-painting or display-sans flavor driven by the pronounced slant and softened corners.
