A condensed, heavily slanted sans with tall proportions and compact counters. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and terminals are clean and mostly squared-off, while curves stay smooth and slightly softened. The italics-like lean is pronounced and uniform, creating a strong diagonal rhythm across words and lines. Round letters such as O, C, and G are narrow ovals, and overall spacing feels tight, emphasizing a stacked, vertical texture in text.
This font is well suited to posters, headlines, and branding where a compact, high-impact word shape is useful. It can work effectively on packaging and editorial display applications that benefit from a condensed footprint and an energetic slanted cadence, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone feels energetic and slightly offbeat, with a retro headline flavor driven by the strong slant and condensed silhouettes. Its assertive weight and forward-leaning posture give it a lively, attention-grabbing voice that reads as playful rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while adding motion through a strong, consistent slant. Its simplified, low-contrast construction and smooth curves suggest an emphasis on bold, graphic readability and a distinctive display personality.
In multi-line settings the strong diagonal stress becomes a defining graphic element, producing a noticeable wave-like baseline rhythm. The figures share the same tall, condensed construction, supporting consistent color in display sizes.
