A condensed, heavy sans with softly squared, superelliptical curves and a uniform stroke that keeps texture dense and even. Corners are generously rounded, counters are tight, and terminals tend to be blunt, producing a compact, vertical rhythm. The lowercase is simple and sturdy with single-storey forms where visible, while punctuation and numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic for a cohesive, sign-like silhouette.
Works best for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, wordmarks, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It’s well suited to brand applications that want a compact, space-efficient display style with a rounded, approachable edge.
The overall tone feels bold and assertive, with a friendly softness from the rounded geometry. It reads as retro-leaning and slightly playful, evoking mid-century display lettering and attention-grabbing headlines without turning decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle construction to stay friendly while remaining forceful and highly legible at display sizes.
Narrow proportions and small interior spaces mean the face holds together best at larger sizes; in longer passages the dense color can reduce clarity. The squarish curves create a distinctive, mechanical regularity that stays consistent across letters and figures.
