A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly blunted terminals. Strokes stay largely monolinear, with subtle flare where curves meet stems, giving letters a slightly sculpted, cut-from-solid feel. Counters are small and tight in letters like B, P, R, and 8, while rounded forms (C, G, O) read as squarish superellipses rather than true circles. The overall rhythm is compact and vertical, with occasional angled joins in diagonals (K, V, W, X) that add crispness without introducing sharp serifs.
Best suited to display work where compact, high-impact letterforms are an advantage—headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and short branding lines. It can work for subheads and callouts in editorial layouts when used at comfortable sizes and with adequate spacing.
The font projects a bold, retro display energy—confident and attention-grabbing, but softened by rounded corners and friendly geometry. Its condensed stance and quirky, bouncy proportions give it a playful, poster-like personality that feels at home in lively, graphic settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space, using a rounded-rectangular, monoline construction to keep forms sturdy and legible while maintaining a distinctive, retro-leaning voice.
Uppercase forms appear especially tall and compressed, and the lowercase follows with similarly narrow bowls and short, sturdy shoulders. Numerals are simple and stout, matching the tight internal spaces and rounded-rectangular curves seen across the alphabet. The texture in the sample text stays dark and emphatic, making letterspacing and line breaks visually prominent at larger sizes.
