A compact sans with heavy, even stroke weight and rounded, slightly swollen curves. Terminals are mostly blunt with gentle rounding, while joins and diagonals create crisp, angular moments that add snap to the silhouette. Counters are generally open and spacious for the width, with circular forms in O/C/G and a straightforward, geometric construction across the set. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with short extenders and a dense, poster-ready color on the page.
Best suited to short text where impact and clarity matter: headlines, posters, packaging, brand marks, and bold UI callouts. The dense color and compact width help it fit more characters per line while still reading clearly at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone feels upbeat and utilitarian at once—friendly curves keep it approachable, while the firm weight and compact proportions give it a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its slight retro flavor reads as casual and familiar rather than futuristic or formal.
The design appears intended as a bold, space-efficient sans for display typography, balancing geometric roundness with sturdy, simplified forms to stay legible and friendly under heavy weight.
Numerals are bold and legible, with simple, iconic shapes that hold up well at display sizes. The lowercase shows a single-storey feel in key forms and maintains consistent weight, helping the font keep a cohesive, headline-oriented texture.
