This typeface shows a compact, vertically oriented skeleton with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, clean terminals. The capitals are tall and tightly set, with pointed apexes (notably in A and V) and strong, straight stems that create a firm, architectural rhythm. Bowls and counters are relatively narrow, while diagonals are sharply cut and keep a taut, controlled feel. Lowercase forms follow the same compressed logic, with sturdy stems, smallish counters, and a clear contrast pattern that reads especially strongly in curves and joins.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, magazine spreads, posters, and brand marks where a condensed footprint and high-contrast detail can work to advantage. It can also support short bursts of text—deck lines, pull quotes, or packaging copy—when generous size and spacing preserve clarity.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, balancing elegance from its contrast with a direct, attention-grabbing presence from its compressed proportions. It feels formal and deliberate, suited to designs that want to project confidence and sophistication without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, high-impact display voice with an editorial finish: compact proportions for density, combined with strong modulation to add sophistication and drama. The consistent vertical drive and crisp terminals suggest an aim for modern, controlled expressiveness rather than casual utility.
At text sizes, the tight internal spaces and strong modulation emphasize a bold, poster-like color, while at larger sizes the crisp joins and pointed details become the main personality. Numerals appear compact and weighty, matching the overall vertical emphasis and maintaining a consistent rhythm alongside letters.
