A tall, tightly condensed sans with softly rounded corners and gently squared curves, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel. Strokes stay largely even, with minimal modulation and crisp, clean terminals. The rhythm is narrow and vertical, producing compact word shapes while keeping counters open enough for clarity. Uppercase forms are simple and geometric, while the lowercase introduces subtle idiosyncrasies—like single‑storey shapes and slightly curled or hooked details in letters such as a, f, j, and y—that add character without becoming decorative.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where space is limited but a distinctive voice is desired. The condensed proportions make it effective for posters, packaging, and branding lockups, and it can add personality to editorial titling and pull quotes where compact line lengths are helpful.
The overall tone blends utilitarian economy with a lightly theatrical, vintage flavor. Its compact, upright stance feels efficient and modern, while the rounded-rect geometry and quirky lowercase details lend a friendly, slightly offbeat personality.
The font appears designed to maximize horizontal economy while staying approachable and legible, using rounded-rect geometry and small humanized touches to avoid a purely mechanical feel. It aims to deliver a recognizable, characterful condensed voice for display and titling contexts.
Numerals are similarly condensed and straightforward, matching the tight horizontal footprint of the alphabet. The design reads cleanly at display sizes and maintains a consistent vertical emphasis across caps and lowercase.
