A condensed sans with monoline strokes and generously rounded terminals that give many forms a soft, pill-like silhouette. Counters are compact and openings are tight, creating a dense, vertical rhythm with clear, blocky geometry. Curves tend toward rounded-rectangle construction rather than perfect circles, and joins stay smooth and simplified. The figures follow the same narrow proportions and rounded treatment, producing a cohesive, display-forward texture at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where its condensed, rounded texture can add character—such as posters, packaging, brand marks, and storefront or wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for labels and UI accents when used with ample tracking and comfortable line spacing.
The overall tone feels cheerful and slightly eccentric, with a vintage sign-painter energy translated into clean, simplified shapes. Its narrow, rounded forms read as friendly and approachable while still feeling assertive and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, space-saving display sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangle construction, balancing friendliness with strong visual impact. It prioritizes a recognizable silhouette and consistent rhythm over open, text-optimized apertures.
The lowercase shows single-storey behavior in key letters and uses prominent dots on i/j, reinforcing the informal, humanized feel. The uppercase and numerals maintain consistent corner rounding and compact internal space, which can make long text feel dark and tightly packed.
