A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and tightly packed counters. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and arcs a squarish, superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Strokes stay broadly even in thickness, with softly rounded corners and slightly pinched joins that add a hand-cut, display-driven rhythm. Letterforms show subtle width and shape irregularities across the set, contributing to a lively, uneven texture in words while remaining legible at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display settings where its dense, condensed shapes can deliver impact—posters, packaging fronts, branding lockups, and logo wordmarks. It can work for short promotional copy, but the tight counters and condensed rhythm suggest using it sparingly for extended text.
The overall tone feels assertive and attention-grabbing, with a retro display energy reminiscent of mid-century posters and headline typography. Its squarish-round forms and slight irregularities make it feel playful and a bit quirky rather than strictly utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in limited horizontal space while maintaining a friendly, rounded-square personality. Its consistent weight and geometric rounding point to a display face built for bold statements and distinctive brand presence.
The condensed build creates strong vertical emphasis and a dense color on the line. Rounded-square bowls (notably in characters like O/Q and the numerals) and tight apertures produce a distinctive, compressed silhouette that reads best when given generous tracking and line spacing in longer settings.
