A condensed, monoline sans with a consistent left-leaning slant and softly squared, superelliptic curves. Strokes stay even and clean, with rounded terminals and compact counters that maintain clarity despite the narrow set. Uppercase forms are tall and streamlined; bowls and rounds (C, O, Q, e, o) read as rounded rectangles rather than perfect circles. The lowercase features a tall x-height with simple, upright stems and restrained joins, giving words a vertical, rhythmic texture; numerals follow the same narrow, lightly curved construction.
Best suited to display settings where a compact footprint and distinctive slanted voice are useful—posters, headlines, brand marks, packaging, and editorial callouts. It can work for short-to-medium text in spacious layouts, where the narrow set and tall lowercase can build a lively, economical rhythm.
The overall tone feels modern and slightly eccentric—like a neat technical sans that’s been gently pushed off-axis for personality. Its narrow, tilted rhythm adds energy and a casual, human-inflected feel without becoming messy or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving sans with a recognizable silhouette: condensed proportions, softened rectangular rounds, and a consistent reverse-leaning slant that adds character while keeping a clean, contemporary structure.
The slanted construction is uniform across cases and figures, creating a forward (yet reversed) motion and a distinctive word silhouette. Rounded corners soften the geometry, while the tight proportions emphasize verticality and compactness in lines of text.
