A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and uniform, with tight apertures and simplified internal counters that keep the texture dense at display sizes. Curves lean toward superelliptical bowls rather than true circles, and terminals read as smoothly clipped rather than sharply cut. The lowercase is tall and sturdy, with short extenders and a narrow, rhythmic footprint that creates a strong vertical pattern in words.
Best suited to headlines and short text where impact and compactness matter—posters, packaging fronts, branding marks, and bold signage. It can also work for emphatic UI labels or badges when used at larger sizes where the tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, mixing a utilitarian sign-painting sturdiness with a slightly quirky, vintage display feel. Its compressed proportions and rounded geometry give it an energetic, attention-grabbing voice without becoming aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangular forms to keep the weight friendly and cohesive. It prioritizes strong word shape and consistent texture for display typography that stays legible while feeling characterful.
Round letters like O/C/G stay squarish in silhouette, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) remain chunky and stable rather than razor-sharp. Numerals match the same condensed, heavy rhythm, making mixed alphanumeric settings feel consistent and headline-ready.
