A condensed, heavy sans with tall proportions and softly squared, superelliptic curves. Strokes stay largely even, with gentle tapering at some terminals and joins that creates a subtly hand-cut, posterlike texture. Counters are tight and rounded-rectangular, and the overall rhythm feels intentionally irregular, with slight wobble in verticals and curves that keeps the texture lively rather than mechanical. The lowercase is compact with a tall x-height and short ascenders/descenders, while numerals and capitals retain the same narrow, sturdy silhouette.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, headlines, packaging, and brand marks where a condensed, high-impact voice is useful. It can work for short subheads and callouts, especially when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The tone is lively and characterful, mixing vintage sign-lettering energy with a modern, compact punch. Its bouncy, slightly off-kilter forms read as playful and attention-seeking, making text feel animated and informal without becoming scriptlike.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact display voice with a distinctive, slightly irregular superelliptic geometry—evoking retro signage while staying clean and sans in construction.
At larger sizes the quirky curvature and terminal shaping become a defining feature, while at smaller sizes the tight counters and dense weight can make complex word shapes feel busy. The condensed build packs a lot of color into a line, giving headlines a strong vertical presence.
