A condensed sans with monoline strokes and heavily rounded, superellipse-like corners throughout. The forms are tall and compact, with straight-sided verticals and gently curved joins that create a smooth, tubular texture. Counters are tight but clean, and curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry rather than true circles, giving letters like O/C/G a squarish roundness. Terminals are consistently softened, and the overall rhythm is uniform and sturdy with minimal stroke modulation.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where its condensed width and rounded weight can deliver impact without feeling harsh. It works well for branding, packaging, signage, and editorial callouts that need a friendly, contemporary-retro voice and consistent texture across letters and numerals.
The rounded geometry and compact proportions produce a friendly, upbeat tone with a subtle retro sign-paint and packaging feel. It reads as confident and energetic rather than formal, balancing bold presence with soft edges that keep it approachable.
Likely designed to provide a compact, high-impact sans that stays warm and legible by using softened, superellipse-based construction. The consistent rounding and sturdy proportions suggest an emphasis on cohesive branding applications and attention-grabbing display typography.
Uppercase has a poster-like solidity with simplified shapes and short apertures, while lowercase keeps the same rounded construction and maintains clarity at display sizes. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect aesthetic with strong vertical emphasis, supporting a cohesive, logo-ready texture in mixed alphanumerics.
