A tall, tightly set sans with slim strokes and softened, rounded-rectangle construction. Curves read as superelliptical rather than circular, giving bowls and counters a gently squared feel, while terminals stay clean and unadorned. The overall rhythm is narrow and vertical, with slightly elastic proportions across letters that create a subtly uneven, lively texture in words. Counters are compact but clear, and the lowercase maintains straightforward, legible forms with simple dots and minimal detailing.
Best suited to display roles where its tall, condensed voice can add personality—headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for short editorial callouts or captions when given enough spacing, but it is most distinctive at medium to large sizes.
The condensed, slightly irregular rhythm and rounded-squared geometry give the typeface a playful, quirky personality with a mild retro flavor. It feels informal and friendly without becoming decorative, projecting a hand-tuned, characterful tone that suits lighthearted messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed sans that feels more human and idiosyncratic than a purely utilitarian grotesk. By combining slim vertical proportions with rounded-rectangle curves, it aims for a friendly, slightly retro display tone that stays clean and readable.
In continuous text the narrow forms create strong vertical emphasis and a crisp, poster-like color. The rounded corners keep the look soft even at larger sizes, while the compact apertures and tight interior spaces benefit from comfortable tracking in longer lines.
