A compact display sans with tall, narrow proportions and heavy strokes. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry with subtly flared ends and occasional notch-like cuts that create a carved, chiseled feel. Curves are smooth and generous, counters are relatively small, and terminals are mostly blunt with slight shaping that adds texture without introducing true serifs. Overall spacing looks tight and vertical, producing a dense, high-impact rhythm in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited for headlines, short phrases, and large-size applications where its condensed, blocky silhouettes can punch through at a glance. It works well on posters, product packaging, event graphics, and signage, and can add character to logos or wordmarks when used sparingly.
The font reads as vintage and showmanlike, evoking old posters, storefront lettering, and novelty headlines. Its rounded massing and irregular terminal shaping add a friendly, slightly mischievous tone that feels more handcrafted than corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver strong, space-efficient impact with a retro display voice, using rounded-rectangle construction and shaped terminals to create personality while staying fundamentally sans in structure.
The alphabet shows consistent vertical stress and a deliberate mix of straight-sided stems with rounded corners, giving many glyphs a squared-off softness. Numerals follow the same chunky, condensed construction, keeping emphasis on silhouette and bold presence rather than delicate detail.
