A condensed, heavy sans with a superelliptic construction: bowls and counters read as rounded-rectangle forms rather than pure circles. Strokes stay largely uniform, with softened corners and subtly curved terminals that keep the black shapes from feeling mechanical. Proportions are tall and compact, with an economical set width and tight internal counters that reinforce a dense, poster-like texture. The lowercase shows a high x-height with short ascenders/descenders, and the overall rhythm is steady and vertical, producing a consistent, blocky color in text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where compact width and strong presence help fit more characters into limited space. It can also work for short subheads and signage, especially when a retro-leaning, geometric sans voice is desired; extended body text may feel heavy due to the dense color and tight counters.
The tone is assertive and upbeat, pairing strong weight with softened geometry for a friendly kind of impact. It suggests mid-century display sensibilities—confident and attention-getting—without becoming playful or decorative. The condensed stance adds urgency and momentum, making it feel suited to headlines that need to look energetic and direct.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, using superelliptic curves and rounded corners to soften a dense, vertical structure. Its shapes prioritize bold silhouette and consistent texture, aiming for high visibility and a distinctive geometric personality in display settings.
Round characters (like O/C/G and the numeral 0) emphasize squared-off curvature, creating a distinctive “soft-rectangle” silhouette. Joins and corners are kept clean and consistent, and the dense spacing and dark overall color push it toward display use where legibility is driven by shape recognition rather than generous counters.
