A tall, compact sans with monoline strokes and strongly rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Corners are softened and terminals are blunt, giving curves a superelliptical feel rather than perfect circles. Counters are small and vertically oriented, and the overall fit is tight, producing a dense, poster-like rhythm. Shapes stay consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with a clean, even texture and minimal modulation.
Best suited to display roles where space is limited but strong impact is needed, such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks. Its compact width and sturdy forms also work well for short signage messages and bold editorial callouts, while longer text is likely better in larger sizes or with generous leading.
The condensed proportions and rounded geometry create a playful, slightly retro voice that feels approachable rather than clinical. It reads as energetic and characterful, with a hint of hand-made charm while still staying structured and systematic.
Designed to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, pairing a straightforward sans skeleton with soft, rounded-rectangle details for warmth and distinctiveness. The consistent monoline construction suggests an emphasis on uniform color and clear, repeatable forms across the set.
Round letters like O/Q and bowls in B/P/R lean toward rounded-rectangle forms, and joins stay smooth and simplified. The numeral set follows the same tall, compact logic, keeping figures visually cohesive with the alphabet and well-suited to tight layouts.
