A condensed, heavy sans with monoline strokes and rounded, softly squared terminals. Curves are built from compact ovals, producing tight counters in letters like O, B, and e, while straight stems stay crisp and vertical. Several glyphs show deliberate angular notches and wedge-like joins (notably in diagonals such as K, V, W, X, and Y), adding a carved, cut-paper feel without introducing true serifs. Spacing and proportions favor tall, narrow silhouettes, giving the alphabet a dense, emphatic rhythm in both upper- and lowercase as well as the numerals.
This font is best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and signage where its condensed mass and distinctive notched diagonals can stand out. It can also work for short callouts or labels, especially at larger sizes where the tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, with a retro display flavor that feels energetic rather than formal. Its rounded forms keep it approachable, while the sharp notches and compact shapes add a quirky, attention-grabbing edge suited to expressive headlines.
The design appears intended as a characterful condensed display sans that maximizes impact in limited horizontal space. Its combination of rounded geometry and occasional angular cut-ins suggests a goal of balancing friendliness with a distinctive, graphic silhouette for branding and headline use.
Lowercase forms appear sturdy and simplified, with single-storey construction where expected and strong vertical stress throughout. Numerals match the same condensed, blocky logic and read best when given room, as the tight apertures and counters can darken quickly in longer text.
