A tall, compact sans with strongly condensed proportions and heavy, even strokes. Curves and terminals are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing soft corners and a slightly squared, superelliptical feel in bowls and counters. The texture is dense and vertical, with tight internal spaces in letters like B, D, O, and P and simple, sturdy joins that keep shapes legible at display sizes. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright structure, with rounded ends and consistent stroke weight.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where a strong vertical presence is desired—posters, titles, packaging, signage, and brand marks. It can also work for labels or UI callouts when used sparingly and at sizes that preserve the tight counters and narrow apertures.
The overall tone feels bold and poster-ready, blending a retro sign-painting sensibility with clean, modern simplicity. Its rounded corners soften the impact of the heavy weight, giving it a friendly, slightly quirky voice rather than an aggressive one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle construction to keep the weight feeling approachable and consistent across the alphabet and numerals.
Uppercase forms read especially unified due to the consistent vertical rhythm and the repeated rounded-rectangle motifs. The lowercase maintains the same condensed stance, and the font’s dense spacing and compact counters make it most comfortable when given adequate size and breathing room in layout.
