A compact, condensed display sans with tall proportions and heavy, monoline strokes. Counters are generally small and rounded, with softly bulging bowls and terminals that alternate between straight, flat cuts and rounded ends, creating a slightly uneven, hand-cut rhythm. The uppercase is tightly built and imposing, while the lowercase keeps a similar narrow structure with simplified forms and minimal detailing. Numerals follow the same compressed, chunky construction, maintaining strong vertical emphasis and dense texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, large headlines, packaging callouts, and attention-grabbing signage. It can also work for logo wordmarks where a condensed, characterful presence is needed and generous size helps preserve interior clarity.
The overall tone is bold and punchy with a playful, slightly eccentric twist. Its bouncy curves and tight spacing evoke a retro poster sensibility—confident and attention-grabbing, but not rigidly geometric. The mood reads as energetic and a bit quirky, suited to headlines that want character as much as impact.
Likely designed as a condensed, high-impact display face that maximizes presence in tight horizontal space. The intent appears to be a distinctive sans with a retro, cutout-flavored personality, prioritizing bold silhouette and rhythmic texture over neutral readability in long text.
In text, the dense color and narrow set produce strong headline presence and can feel crowded at smaller sizes, especially where counters close up. The mixture of rounded interior shapes and blunt exterior cuts gives it a distinctive, cutout-like silhouette that stands out in short phrases.
