A compact, condensed sans with heavy, even stroke weight and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves are built from soft, superelliptical bowls, while terminals are mostly blunt and slightly rounded, producing a sturdy silhouette. Counters are small and tight, and the overall rhythm is vertical and compressed, with occasional width deviations in letters like M/W that help maintain recognizable forms. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey structures and compact apertures, keeping the texture dense and graphic.
Works best for display applications where strong impact and a friendly voice are desired—posters, titles, packaging callouts, and branding marks. It can also suit short UI labels or signage when set with generous spacing and ample size, but it is less ideal for long-form reading due to its dense, heavy texture.
The tone is upbeat and characterful, with a lively, slightly quirky bounce that feels informal rather than technical. Its rounded geometry and chunky presence read as approachable and fun, with a hint of vintage display energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a tight horizontal footprint while maintaining soft, approachable forms. Its superelliptical bowls and blunt terminals aim for a playful, brand-ready look that stays bold and readable at headline sizes.
The numerals share the same condensed, rounded-rectangle logic, with a notably simple, legible ‘1’ and compact, heavy loops on ‘8’ and ‘9’. In text settings the bold mass creates strong word shapes but reduces internal whitespace, making it feel best suited to larger sizes or shorter lines.
