A tall, tightly condensed sans with monoline strokes and softly squared, superellipse-like curves. The letters lean subtly backward, giving a reverse-italic feel while keeping a clean, upright construction. Terminals are mostly blunt with gentle rounding, and bowls/counters tend toward rounded-rectangle geometry rather than perfect circles. Overall rhythm is compact and vertical, with noticeable width differences between letters (for example, wider rounds versus extremely slim stems), producing a lively, uneven texture in text.
Best suited to display sizes where its tall proportions, reverse slant, and rounded-rectangle curves can read clearly—headlines, posters, packaging, and branding marks. It can add personality to short editorial titles and promotional lines, especially where a retro or quirky tone is desired.
The backward slant and narrow, elongated forms evoke a mid-century display sensibility—part theatrical, part whimsical. It reads energetic and slightly off-kilter in a deliberate way, suggesting vintage signage, poster lettering, and stylized editorial titling rather than neutral UI typography.
The design appears intended to provide a distinctive condensed display voice: a clean sans foundation combined with soft-corner geometry and a subtle backward lean to differentiate it from standard italics and straight uprights. The variable width and compact rhythm prioritize character and visual impact over neutral text rendering.
In the sample text, the dense vertical texture and variable character widths create strong word shapes and a pronounced typographic color. Numerals follow the same tall, condensed logic with simplified, sign-painter-like forms, reinforcing the display character.
