A tightly condensed, monoline sans with softly squared curves and rounded-rectangle counters. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal contrast, and the forms are drawn tall with compact sidebearings, creating a dense vertical rhythm. Curves tend to resolve into gentle, flattened arcs rather than perfect circles, while joins and terminals stay clean and blunt for a sturdy silhouette. Numerals and lowercase show simplified, compact shapes with small apertures and a controlled, uniform texture.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where a compact footprint and strong presence are useful. It works well for posters, packaging, signage, and logo wordmarks that benefit from tall, condensed letterforms and a distinctive geometric voice. In longer text, it will read most comfortably when given generous size and spacing.
The overall tone feels retro and emphatic, with a slightly eccentric, display-forward personality. Its tall, packed-in proportions and softened geometry suggest mid-century signage and poster lettering, projecting confidence without sharp aggression. The rounded-square curves add a friendly, quirky twist that keeps it from feeling purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in narrow columns, combining a sturdy monoline build with rounded-rectangle geometry for a recognizable, vintage-leaning display texture. It prioritizes compactness and visual punch while maintaining smooth, consistent curves across the set.
At text sizes the tight spacing and narrow apertures create a dark, continuous color, while at larger sizes the distinctive rounded-rect geometry becomes the defining feature. The alphabet shows a consistent vertical stress and a deliberate economy of detail, emphasizing rhythm and impact over openness.
