A compact, tall sans with strongly condensed proportions and a mostly even stroke weight. Curves are built from tight, rounded forms, while terminals and joins show small notches and wedge-like cut-ins that add a slightly faceted, almost ink-trap character. The rhythm is vertical and streamlined: narrow counters, short crossbars, and tightly drawn bowls create dense color in text. Uppercase shapes read cleanly and geometric, while lowercase introduces more personality through narrowed apertures and animated curves.
Works best where vertical economy and impact matter: headlines, posters, packaging panels, labels, and brand marks that need a compact footprint. It can be used for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes) but its dense texture and strong personality make it less suited to long-form reading at small sizes.
The tone is energetic and slightly eccentric—more display-forward than neutral. Its condensed silhouette and sharp little cut-ins give it a vintage headline feel, reminiscent of mid‑century poster and sign lettering, while still reading as a straightforward sans.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, pairing a clean sans foundation with distinctive cut-in details to keep the shapes lively and recognizable. The goal appears to be a condensed display face that feels retro-informed without relying on overt ornament.
Numbers follow the same narrow, tall logic, staying legible through simplified shapes and generous internal openings relative to the width. Spacing appears designed to hold a tight line without collapsing, producing a consistent, dark texture in multi-line settings.
