A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared counters. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, creating dense black shapes and a tight, energetic rhythm. Curves resolve into superelliptical turns rather than true circles, and many joins feel slightly pinched, giving a sturdy, poster-like texture. The lowercase is compact with short ascenders/descenders, while the figures and capitals keep a strong, vertical stance that reads cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and bold branding moments where strong texture and compact width are advantages. It works well for packaging, labels, and short promotional copy, and can also serve for punchy UI headers or signage when space is limited and high contrast against the background is needed.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, mixing a utilitarian, sign-painter solidity with a light retro charm. Its squared-round geometry and dense weight give it an assertive voice, while the softened corners keep it from feeling harsh. The result feels playful and attention-grabbing without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a tight horizontal footprint, using rounded-rectangle forms to balance strength with friendliness. Its consistent stroke weight and compact proportions prioritize bold, legible display typography over delicate detail.
Round letters like O/C/G show flattened sides and squarish interior space, reinforcing the superelliptical theme. Terminals are generally blunt and straight, and punctuation (like the i/j dots) appears sturdy and clearly separated, supporting high-impact settings. The width varies slightly across glyphs but maintains a consistent condensed color in text lines.
