A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and softly squared, superelliptical rounding throughout. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle terminals rather than sharp joins, giving counters and bowls a pill-like geometry. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with slightly varied character widths and compact sidebearings that keep words narrow. Details like single-story forms and simple, sturdy digits reinforce a clean, utilitarian silhouette while maintaining a gentle, softened finish.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short display copy where its condensed width saves space and its rounded geometry adds character. It can also work well for packaging, branding, and signage that wants a friendly, contemporary-retro tone and clear, high-contrast shapes against busy backgrounds.
The rounded-rectangle construction and condensed stance give the face a warm, slightly retro voice that feels casual and personable. Its softened corners read as friendly and non-threatening, while the tall proportions add a touch of quirky charm that stands out without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to combine a space-saving condensed structure with soft, superelliptical construction, delivering a modern sans that feels approachable and slightly nostalgic while remaining clean and readable at display sizes.
At text sizes the narrow proportions and compact spacing create dense lines, while the low-contrast, rounded terminals help keep the texture even. The distinctive rounded-rectangular curves make the style immediately recognizable in headings and short blocks.
