A condensed sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are heavy and consistent, with minimal contrast and generally straight, vertical stress. Curves tend to be squarish and superelliptical rather than circular, and joins are simplified, giving a clean, poster-like silhouette. Spacing is compact and the rhythm is slightly irregular in a deliberate way, creating a lively texture in text while keeping strong, legible letterforms.
Best suited for headlines, short copy, and display settings where its condensed, chunky forms can create strong impact in limited horizontal space. It works well for branding, packaging, signage, and editorial titling that benefits from a friendly retro character. For longer text, it’s most effective at larger sizes where the tight, lively texture remains comfortable to read.
The overall tone is energetic and approachable, with a distinctly retro, display-forward personality. Its narrow, chunky shapes and rounded geometry read as playful and slightly eccentric rather than neutral or corporate. The font projects a bold, confident voice suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact in a compact width, pairing heavy, low-contrast strokes with superelliptical rounding to feel modern yet nostalgic. The goal appears to be a distinctive, approachable display sans that stays consistent across letters and numerals while adding personality through bouncy proportions and simplified construction.
The uppercase set feels especially tall and compact, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, single-storey feel in several shapes, reinforcing an informal, sign-painter-meets-modernist vibe. Numerals follow the same condensed, rounded-rectangle logic, keeping the system visually cohesive.
