A compact, tightly set sans with tall, narrow proportions and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Strokes are sturdy and even, with softened corners and mostly blunt terminals that keep counters small and shapes compact. Curves tend to resolve into squared-off arcs rather than true circles, giving letters like C, O, and G a boxy-round feel. Capitals are markedly tall and monolinear; lowercase follows the same condensed rhythm with short extenders and a compact, high-waisted feel in several forms, maintaining a consistent vertical emphasis across text and figures.
Best suited to headlines and short display text where its condensed vertical rhythm can add impact in limited horizontal space. It fits branding, packaging, and signage that want a retro-graphic voice, and works well for titles, labels, and punchy callouts where texture and personality matter more than long-form readability.
The overall tone reads retro and display-oriented, with a quirky, slightly cartoonish charm created by the squared-round curves and dense, vertical silhouettes. It feels energetic and attention-getting without relying on sharp angles, balancing friendliness with a bold, graphic presence.
The design appears intended as a characterful condensed display sans that leverages superelliptical geometry for a distinctive, cohesive texture. Its tall caps, compact counters, and rounded corners suggest an aim to be bold and space-efficient while still feeling approachable and stylized.
Numerals share the same narrow, rounded-rect geometry, helping mixed alphanumeric settings stay uniform and poster-like. The condensed spacing and small counters make the design visually strong at larger sizes, where its distinctive squarish curves and softened corners are most apparent.
