A tightly condensed sans with tall proportions and a consistent, even stroke. Curves and counters lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and terminals a soft, superelliptical feel rather than true circles. The letters are drawn with minimal modulation and mostly closed apertures, producing a compact, poster-like rhythm. Numerals and capitals maintain the same narrow footprint and rounded endings, keeping the overall texture uniform and dense in text settings.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of text where space is limited but impact is needed—posters, signage, packaging panels, and bold identity wordmarks. It can also work for subheads and UI labels when a condensed, high-presence look is desired.
The typeface feels confident and punchy, with a streamlined, slightly retro tone reminiscent of mid-century signage and packaging. Its rounded-rectangle forms add a friendly, approachable edge to an otherwise utilitarian, condensed voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, pairing condensed proportions with softened, rounded-rectangle construction for a modernized vintage feel and strong legibility at display sizes.
Spacing appears tuned for narrow forms, creating a dark, continuous typographic color in paragraphs. The rounded terminals and squarish bowls help distinguish shapes at display sizes, while the compressed width emphasizes verticality and stackability in headlines.
