A condensed, heavy sans with softly squared, superellipse-like curves and rounded corners throughout. Strokes are robust with noticeable, gentle modulation, and terminals tend to finish with smooth, blunt ends rather than sharp cuts. Counters are compact and often vertically oriented, giving letters a tall, packed silhouette and a strong vertical rhythm. The overall construction feels geometric but softened, balancing blocky mass with curved shoulders and bowls.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where high impact and a compact footprint are needed. It also works well for editorial display settings such as section titles, pull quotes, and short bursts of copy, especially when a vintage-leaning, bold voice is desired.
The font conveys a retro, poster-minded energy—confident, loud, and slightly playful. Its softened geometry keeps it friendly rather than aggressive, while the condensed width adds urgency and impact typical of headline typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow measure, combining dense, vertical proportions with softened geometric forms for approachable display typography. It emphasizes strong word shapes and consistent weight to keep large-scale text cohesive and visually assertive.
Uppercase forms read as monolithic and architectural, while lowercase retains the same condensed stance with simple, sturdy shapes. Numerals are similarly weighty and compact, matching the all-caps presence and supporting attention-grabbing set text.
