A condensed sans with heavy, even-weight strokes and generously rounded corners throughout. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: bowls and counters read as soft superellipses, with terminals finishing bluntly rather than tapering. Curves are smooth and consistent, joins are simplified, and the overall rhythm is tight with compact sidebearings and clear, open apertures for the size.
Best suited to display settings where space is limited but impact is needed—headlines, posters, labels, packaging, and wayfinding. The condensed build also works well for short UI labels or badges when you want a friendly, high-contrast presence without delicate details.
The rounded, blocky construction gives the typeface a friendly, approachable voice with a hint of retro signage. Its compact proportions and sturdy shapes make it feel energetic and confident, leaning more toward playful utility than formal precision.
The design appears intended to provide a compact, high-impact sans that stays approachable through rounded geometry and simplified, consistent construction. It aims for quick recognition and a strong silhouette, echoing the practicality of sign and product lettering while remaining contemporary.
Uppercase forms are straightforward and geometric, while the lowercase keeps single-storey a and g for an informal, modern tone. Numerals match the same rounded-rect logic and feel sturdy and legible, with consistent curvature and a uniform silhouette across the set.
