A condensed geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and a consistent stroke weight. Curves tend toward superelliptical bowls (notably in O/Q/0), while verticals are straight and confidently weighted, producing a crisp, poster-like texture. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with occasional softened joins that keep counters open and legible. The lowercase mixes simple, single-storey forms with tall ascenders and compact bowls, creating a tight rhythm and a distinctive, slightly stylized silhouette in words.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed geometry can create strong vertical rhythm—headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for short UI labels or wayfinding-style signage when set with comfortable spacing and moderate sizes.
The overall tone feels streamlined and era-referential, evoking early modernist signage and Art Deco-era display lettering. Its rounded geometry adds friendliness, while the condensed stance and solid strokes keep it assertive and graphic.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans that blends geometric clarity with rounded, superellipse-inspired forms. It prioritizes recognizability and graphic presence over neutrality, aiming for a distinctive voice in titling and branding.
Round characters (O, Q, 0) read as generous, near-oval superellipses, contrasted by more rectilinear letters like E/F/T that emphasize verticality. Numerals are bold and simplified, matching the letterforms’ compact width and maintaining a consistent, sign-ready presence.
