A narrow, monoline sans with rounded stroke endings and frequent “collapsed” counters that turn many bowls and apertures into solid teardrops or ovals. The construction is largely geometric and upright, with smooth curves and simple, open outlines on some letters (notably in the capitals), contrasted by deliberately plugged interiors in others. Details such as the droplet terminals on forms like G/J/S and the filled, vertically oriented bowls in characters like a/d/o/p/q create an irregular rhythm that reads more like cut-out shapes than conventional text typography. Numerals follow the same soft, rounded logic, with clean strokes and simplified interior spaces.
Best suited to display work where its solid counters and droplet-like details can read clearly: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and short promotional copy. It can also work for event titles or editorial feature headings where a playful, graphic voice is desired.
The overall tone is whimsical and slightly surreal, mixing clean modern geometry with unexpected solid “blobs” that feel like playful ink drops or punch-outs. It gives a retro-futurist, poster-minded personality—friendly rather than severe—while staying graphic and attention seeking.
The design appears intended to merge a clean, condensed sans structure with novelty counter treatment—using intentionally filled interiors and rounded terminals to create a memorable, icon-like texture. The goal seems less about neutral readability and more about producing distinctive letterforms that stand out at display sizes.
The design alternates between open linear outlines and fully filled interior shapes, producing strong spotting and a distinctive texture in running text. The narrow proportions help it stack tightly, while the filled counters can reduce internal differentiation at small sizes, making it most effective when given room to display its shapes.
