This typeface is a tall, condensed sans with clean, low-contrast strokes and softly squared curves that give round letters a superelliptical feel. Terminals are mostly blunt and vertical, with occasional subtle flare or rounding at joins, creating a restrained, slightly humanized texture. Counters are generally open and oval-leaning, and the overall rhythm is tight and efficient, with narrow set widths and a consistent upright stance. Figures match the text color well and keep the same compact, vertical proportions for a coherent typographic palette.
It is well-suited to space-conscious display settings such as headlines, subheads, posters, and packaging where vertical emphasis and compact width are advantages. It can also work in branding and labels when a clean, contemporary voice with a touch of character is desired.
The overall tone feels modern and editorial, balancing a pragmatic narrow build with a slightly idiosyncratic, handmade edge in the details. It reads as serious and clean at a glance, but with enough character to avoid feeling purely utilitarian.
The design appears aimed at delivering a compact, modern sans that maximizes impact in tight horizontal space while preserving clarity and a consistent, rounded-rectangle construction. The restrained detailing suggests an intention to stay versatile for display and short text without becoming overly decorative.
The condensed proportions create strong vertical emphasis, making lines look tidy and space-efficient. The superellipse-like rounding keeps the geometry friendly rather than rigid, and the compact lowercase forms maintain a steady texture in running text.
