A compact, condensed sans with heavy, rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and curves tend to resolve into squarish bowls and counters rather than true circles, giving letters a superelliptical, stamped feel. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with short crossbars, compact apertures, and sturdy joins that keep forms dense and highly silhouetted at display sizes. Numerals follow the same chunky, squarish logic, with simple, sturdy shapes and minimal internal detailing.
Best suited to display settings where strong silhouettes and tight, vertical economy matter—headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and storefront-style signage. It can also work for short brand statements or logo wordmarks where a retro, condensed presence is desired, but its dense texture suggests using it sparingly for longer reading.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, combining a utilitarian, sign-painting sturdiness with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. It reads as retro-leaning and attention-grabbing, suited to energetic, informal messaging rather than quiet, bookish typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, pairing heavy strokes with rounded-rectangle geometry for a distinctive, approachable display voice. Its simplified, compact letterforms prioritize clear shapes and a consistent, sturdy texture across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Uppercase forms feel particularly tall and compact, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike structure with simple terminals and restrained modulation. The squarish bowls and counters create a distinctive texture in lines of text, especially in words with repeated rounded forms.
