A compact sans with a tall, condensed stance and softly squared, superellipse-like curves. Strokes are heavy and even, with rounded corners and frequent pill-shaped terminals that keep the geometry smooth rather than sharp. Counters are tight but consistently open, and the overall rhythm is vertical and steady, with simplified forms that read clearly in blocks of text and in single-word settings. Figures follow the same narrow, sturdy construction, matching the letters’ rounded-rectangle logic.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where a narrow footprint and strong presence help fit more characters into limited space. It also works for labels and UI-style callouts that benefit from compact, high-impact letterforms and a clean, geometric texture.
The tone feels utilitarian and industrial, yet approachable thanks to the softened corners and rounded terminals. It suggests retro signage and practical labeling—functional first, but with a friendly, modernized warmth.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact and clarity in a constrained width, using softened superellipse geometry to keep a bold, condensed voice from feeling harsh. Its consistent, rounded-rectangle construction suggests an aim toward practical display typography for modern-retro branding and wayfinding.
The design leans on straight-sided bowls and rounded-rectangle apertures, giving letters like C, O, and U a squarish warmth rather than a purely circular feel. Spacing appears compact and consistent, supporting dense settings where a strong vertical texture is desirable.
