A tall, tightly set sans with compact proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes stay consistently heavy with only subtle optical modulation, while bowls and terminals lean toward rounded, softened shapes rather than sharp corners. Curves are slightly squarish in places, giving letters a sturdy, stamped feel, and many forms show narrow apertures and tight interior counters. The overall texture is dense and columnar, with crisp joins on diagonals and confident, blocky numerals that match the letterweight.
Best suited for short bursts of text: headlines, posters, cover lines, labels, and bold branding where a condensed footprint is useful. It can also work for UI badges or wayfinding-style signage when space is tight, but its dense color and narrow apertures make it more comfortable at display sizes than long reading.
The face reads as retro and slightly eccentric—friendly due to its rounded detailing, yet assertive because of its condensed stance and dark color. It suggests mid‑century display lettering and poster typography, with a playful, characterful tone that remains legible and orderly.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, high-impact sans with a softened geometric flavor—combining strong vertical economy with approachable curves for expressive, display-forward typography.
Lowercase forms are simple and compact, with single-storey shapes where expected and small, neat dots on i/j. The capitals maintain a consistent silhouette height and feel engineered for strong word shapes at larger sizes. Numerals are heavy and attention-grabbing, designed to hold their own in headlines and signage-like settings.
