A tall, tightly set sans with a strongly condensed stance and mostly even stroke weight. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a soft, squared-off feel rather than pure circles. Terminals are generally clean and blunt, with occasional subtle notches and pinched joins that add texture and help define tight apertures. The overall rhythm is vertical and compact, with narrow counters and economical spacing that keeps the texture dark and unified in paragraphs and headlines alike.
Works best in headlines, poster typography, and branding where condensed width is useful for fitting long words into tight spaces. The rounded-rectangle construction and compact texture also suit packaging, labels, and signage that want a retro-leaning, friendly voice without resorting to overt ornamentation.
The tone reads retro and slightly theatrical, blending clean modern simplicity with a hint of vintage signage and display typography. Its narrow, upright silhouette feels assertive and efficient, while the softened corners and quirky details keep it approachable and characterful.
Likely drawn to provide a space-saving condensed sans with a distinctive superelliptical construction and a touch of idiosyncratic detail. The design aims to stay crisp and legible while offering a memorable, display-forward personality.
The alphabet shows consistent vertical proportions across caps and lowercase, with distinctive, rounded-rectangular bowls and restrained detailing that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same condensed, upright logic and maintain a steady visual color alongside the letters.
