A tall, tightly set sans with narrow proportions and a consistent, heavy stroke. Corners and terminals are broadly rounded, giving stems a softened, pill-like finish rather than sharp joins. The overall construction is simple and monoline in feel, with minimal contrast and compact counters that stay readable at display sizes. Spacing is tight and the rhythm feels slightly bouncy, with small idiosyncrasies in curves and joints that keep the texture lively.
Well suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, labels, and storefront-style signage where its condensed width and bold presence can carry from a distance. It also works for branding elements that want a friendly, vintage-leaning voice, especially in packaging and promotional graphics. For best results, use it at medium to large sizes where the compact counters and tight spacing can breathe.
The tone is friendly and approachable, with a distinct retro flavor that recalls mid-century display lettering and casual sign painting. Its narrow build and rounded finish create an energetic, slightly quirky voice that feels upbeat rather than formal. Overall it reads as confident and attention-getting without becoming aggressive.
The design appears intended as a characterful condensed display sans that maximizes impact in narrow spaces while staying approachable through rounded terminals. It prioritizes a lively, handcrafted-feeling texture and strong vertical presence over strict neutrality, making it ideal for expressive titling and brand-forward applications.
Capitals and numerals share the same tall stance, producing a strong vertical emphasis in headlines. The rounded forms help prevent the dense weight from feeling harsh, while the condensed width lets long words fit comfortably in limited horizontal space.
