A compact, condensed sans with chunky strokes and softly rounded corners that give the letterforms a superelliptic, rounded-rectangle feel. Stems are straight and vertical, with minimal contrast and broad, simplified joins that keep counters small and sturdy. Round letters like O/C/G read as squarish rounds, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are tight and efficient, reinforcing a dense rhythm. Lowercase forms are tall and sturdy with short extenders, and the overall texture is heavy, even, and space-efficient.
Best suited to display use where density and impact are important: headlines, posters, packaging, logo wordmarks, and social media graphics. It can work for short subheads or labels, but the tight counters and heavy texture suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and slightly offbeat—bold without feeling aggressive. Its rounded, compact construction reads friendly and informal, with a hint of vintage poster or comic display energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint while staying approachable. By combining heavy strokes with softened corners and squarish-round geometry, it aims for a distinctive, playful display voice that remains highly legible at larger sizes.
The condensed proportions create a strong vertical cadence, and the heavy weight makes internal spaces a defining feature—particularly in letters like a, e, s, and 8. Numerals match the same compact, rounded-rectangle construction, keeping the set visually consistent in headlines and short bursts of text.
