A condensed sans with a strong vertical emphasis and rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) construction. Strokes are consistently heavy with mostly even thickness, and many joins are softened by curved corners and narrow apertures. Terminals often finish with a slight diagonal cut or tapered notch, giving the glyphs a carved, ink-trap-like character while keeping a clean silhouette. Counters are compact and vertically oriented, and the overall rhythm is tight and columnar, reading clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where its narrow proportions and distinctive terminal treatment can be appreciated—posters, titles, packaging, branding marks, and short promotional lines. It can work for brief subheads or UI accents when space is tight, but the dense counters and stylization suggest keeping longer text to larger sizes.
The tone is upbeat and stylized, mixing mid‑century sign-lettering energy with a mild sci‑fi feel. Its softened geometry and distinctive notched terminals make it feel friendly and quirky rather than strictly technical, with a strong personality that stands out in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, space-saving display voice built from softened geometric shapes, with intentionally idiosyncratic terminals to add character. It aims for a recognizable, retro-futuristic signature while remaining straightforward in structure and spacing.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and narrow, with simplified, geometric bowls and restrained curvature. The lowercase maintains a high, compact structure, keeping word shapes uniform and punchy. Numerals match the same condensed, rounded-rect logic and feel consistent in weight and presence.
