A heavy, condensed sans with a consistent left-leaning slant and softly squared, superelliptical rounding throughout. Strokes are monolinear and compact, with broad terminals and rounded corners that keep the dense black shapes from feeling sharp. Counters are relatively tight but clean, and the overall rhythm is energetic, with slight width variation between glyphs that adds a hand-drawn, poster-like irregularity. The lowercase shows sturdy, simplified forms with short extenders, a single-storey a, and compact bowls; figures are stout and blocky with the same softened geometry.
Best suited to display typography where its dense weight and tilted stance can carry impact—posters, headlines, brand marks, packaging, and apparel graphics. It also works well for short, punchy messaging in social graphics or UI banners, but is less ideal for long-form text where the tight counters and strong slant could reduce comfort.
The tone is upbeat and characterful—like a bold headline voice with a retro, informal edge. Its soft-cornered heft feels approachable and fun rather than strict or technical, making it read as expressive and attention-seeking.
Designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a friendly, rounded-rectangle construction and a dynamic slant. The intention appears to be a bold, compact display face that feels retro and playful while staying clean and sans-driven.
The slant is prominent enough to create motion even in short words, and the wide, rounded shoulders (notably in n/m/u) reinforce a bouncy texture. At smaller sizes the tight counters and dense weight may close up, while at display sizes the superelliptical construction becomes a defining visual signature.
