A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with subtle tapering and a consistent rightward slant that gives the forms forward motion. Counters are tight and often pinched into narrow openings, creating a dark, high-impact texture in text. Curves read as superelliptic rather than circular, and terminals tend to be blunt, producing a sturdy, stamped look. Spacing is dense, and the overall rhythm feels compressed and energetic.
Works best for bold headlines, posters, and short phrases where impact matters more than fine detail. It’s a strong choice for branding elements like logos and wordmarks, as well as packaging and merchandise graphics that need a compact, high-energy look.
The font projects a loud, playful attitude with a retro, display-driven voice. Its chunky, tilted shapes feel mischievous and kinetic—more suited to attention-grabbing statements than quiet reading. The tight counters and compact proportions add a gritty, street-poster punch while the rounded geometry keeps it friendly rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a tight footprint, using rounded-rectangle forms and a consistent slant to create momentum. Its compressed spacing and reduced counter space prioritize a dense, graphic silhouette that reads quickly and feels distinctive in display applications.
In longer lines, the dark color and narrow apertures can cause internal shapes to close up at smaller sizes, so it benefits from generous size and breathing room. The slant and condensed build help it feel fast and assertive, especially in all-caps settings.
