This typeface is markedly condensed with tall, upright proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, pairing heavy verticals with finer connecting strokes and sharp, crisp terminals. Curves tend toward rounded-rectangle geometry, keeping bowls compact and controlled while maintaining clean, consistent outlines. Uppercase forms read architectural and stacked, while the lowercase remains compact with a straightforward, workmanlike construction and minimal ornamentation.
Best suited to display settings where space is limited but impact is needed—headlines, subheads, mastheads, and vertical or narrow-column layouts. It can work well for branding and packaging that benefit from a tall, condensed signature, and for editorial pull quotes where a dense, high-contrast texture is desirable.
The overall tone is confident and attention-grabbing, with a distinctly editorial flavor. Its compressed build and dramatic contrast give it a poster-like urgency while still feeling orderly and modern. The voice leans serious and declarative rather than playful.
The design appears intended to maximize presence in a narrow footprint, delivering a strong typographic color and clear vertical emphasis. Its controlled rounded-rectangle curves and crisp terminals suggest a goal of modern clarity with a dramatic, condensed silhouette for display-led typography.
Numerals and capitals appear especially narrow and dense, producing a strong color on the page. The sample text shows clear word shapes at display sizes, but the tight apertures and compact counters create a dark texture that becomes more forceful as lines tighten.
