A condensed sans with a pronounced backward slant and largely uniform stroke weight. Curves and counters are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, giving bowls a squarish softness rather than perfect circles. Terminals are clean and blunt, with gently rounded corners and minimal modulation, creating a sturdy, compact color on the line. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short extenders, and the figures are compact and heavy, matching the dense rhythm of the letters.
Best suited to display sizes where its condensed width and chunky presence can carry impact—posters, packaging, branding marks, and attention-grabbing headers. It can also work for short UI labels or captions when a quirky, retro-leaning voice is desired, though the strong slant and dense texture make it more effective in brief runs than long reading.
The backward tilt and rounded-rect geometry give the face a quirky, retro energy that feels informal and animated. Its compact, sturdy forms read as assertive and friendly rather than technical, with a slightly offbeat stance that adds character to headlines and short phrases.
The design appears intended to blend high-impact condensed proportions with soft, superelliptical rounding and an unconventional reverse slant, creating a memorable sans that stands apart from standard oblique styles. It prioritizes character and compact economy while keeping stroke structure simple and consistent for bold, quick recognition.
The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a distinctive directional motion. Round letters (like O/C/e) retain noticeably squarish inner counters, while straight-sided letters stay upright and tightly set, reinforcing a compressed, sign-ready texture.
