A compact, condensed sans with softly squared, superellipse-driven curves and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, producing a dense color with minimal modulation. Counters are tight and apertures tend toward closed, while terminals often finish with blunt, pill-like ends. The overall rhythm is vertical and disciplined, with simple geometric construction that favors rounded rectangles over perfect circles.
Works best for space-saving display typography where impact and density are desirable, such as headlines, posters, and packaging. The condensed forms are useful for labels and wayfinding-style layouts that need to fit more characters per line while staying visually assertive. It can also serve as a distinctive brand voice for contemporary-retro identities that want warmth without losing strength.
The font feels punchy and pragmatic, with a friendly softness coming from its rounded corners. Its condensed, weighty presence suggests an industrial or poster-driven attitude, but the slightly bouncy, softened shapes keep it from feeling harsh. Overall it reads as bold-minded and approachable, with a subtle retro sign-painting or stamped-label energy.
Likely designed to deliver a high-impact condensed sans that remains friendly and contemporary through rounded, superellipse-based geometry. The aim appears to balance efficient width and strong presence with softened corners for a more approachable, branded feel.
Round characters lean toward squarish ovals, giving the alphabet a distinctive ‘rounded-rectangle’ silhouette. The figures and caps maintain a compact footprint suited to tight settings, and the dots and small details are sturdy enough to hold up at display sizes without looking delicate.
