A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Curves are built from squarish, superellipse-like forms, giving bowls and counters a rounded-rectangle feel rather than pure circles. The rhythm is vertical and economical, with narrow proportions, compact apertures, and a consistent, clean stroke behavior that stays uniform across straight and curved segments. Figures match the condensed posture and remain simple and legible, keeping the overall texture even in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and display copy where its condensed build can fit long phrases into limited width and create a distinctive vertical rhythm. It also works well for branding, packaging, and short editorial callouts where a clean but characterful sans is needed.
The narrow, elongated silhouettes and rounded geometry create a retro-leaning, slightly whimsical tone that feels light and informal without becoming decorative. It reads as friendly and a bit offbeat, with a poster-era charm that can add personality while staying orderly.
The font appears intended to deliver a space-saving, condensed voice with a distinctive rounded-rectangle construction. It aims for clarity and consistency while borrowing a retro display sensibility to stand out in titles and prominent messaging.
The design emphasizes verticality and spacing efficiency, producing tight word shapes and a strong columnar texture in paragraphs. The rounded corners soften the otherwise strict construction, helping the font feel approachable even at larger sizes.
