A tall, tightly set sans with rounded-rectangle construction in bowls and counters, giving many curves a soft, squared-off feel. Strokes are mostly uniform but show gentle modulation and subtle tapering at joins, which keeps the texture from feeling purely monoline. The fit is compact with narrow letterforms and short extenders, while spacing remains even and controlled. Uppercase forms are clean and vertical, and the lowercase introduces a more human, slightly idiosyncratic rhythm (notably in the single-storey a and g). Numerals follow the same condensed, upright logic with rounded terminals and compact proportions.
Best suited to display settings where a compact width and distinctive curve language help text stand out—headlines, posters, cover lines, and packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or signage where horizontal space is limited, though the condensed proportions suggest keeping long passages to larger sizes and shorter lengths.
The overall tone blends streamlined efficiency with a lightly whimsical, vintage flavor. Its rounded-rectilinear curves read friendly and approachable, while the condensed silhouette adds urgency and poster-like presence. The small quirks in the lowercase keep it from feeling strictly corporate, leaning instead toward expressive, characterful modernism.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving condensed sans with a recognizable geometric signature, using rounded-rectangle curves and small humanized details to stay warm and expressive rather than strictly mechanical.
The superelliptical shaping is especially apparent in O/C-style curves and the rounded interior corners, producing a consistent ‘soft-square’ geometry across the set. Capitals appear slightly more formal and stable than the more animated lowercase, which can be used to control tone by casing choice.
