A condensed sans with a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) skeleton and softened terminals throughout. Strokes read largely monolinear, with subtle contrast emerging mainly from curves and joins rather than intentional thick–thin modulation. Counters are narrow and vertically oriented, with tall, tube-like bowls and compact apertures that create a tight, even rhythm in text. The overall silhouette is clean and geometric, leaning on straight verticals, rounded corners, and minimal detailing for a cohesive, high-impact texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and branding systems where a condensed, rounded look can carry personality at display sizes. It can also work for short UI labels or wayfinding when space is tight, especially where a softer geometric tone is desired.
The design conveys a mid-century, sign-painting and display-forward energy—friendly and approachable, yet graphic and attention-grabbing. Its narrow proportions and rounded geometry give it a playful, streamlined tone that feels both retro and contemporary for bold headlines.
The font appears designed to deliver a distinctive, compact display voice built from rounded-rectilinear forms. Its consistent geometry and softened terminals suggest an intention to balance bold impact with an inviting, modern-retro friendliness.
Many letters share a consistent capsule-like construction that emphasizes verticality, producing strong alignment and a uniform color on the line. The numeral set and uppercase maintain the same rounded, condensed logic, supporting a cohesive typographic voice across headings and short blocks of text.
