A condensed, vertical typeface with clean, mostly uniform construction and subtle stroke modulation. Curves are taut and elliptical, counters are relatively open for the width, and joins stay crisp without calligraphic softness. Terminals tend to finish sharply with minimal rounding, giving letters a precise, slightly engineered feel. The lowercase shows straightforward, single-storey forms (notably the a and g), with a tall, efficient x-height and short extenders that keep lines compact.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and editorial display where a narrow footprint and strong verticality are useful. It can also work for branding and packaging that need a clean, contemporary voice, especially in space-constrained layouts.
The overall tone is contemporary and composed, balancing a restrained, utilitarian skeleton with a touch of sophistication from the gentle contrast. It reads as confident and editorial rather than playful, with a cool, polished presence suited to modern brand and publishing contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver an efficient, space-saving voice with a polished, contemporary texture—prioritizing compact width, clear silhouettes, and a controlled contrast that adds refinement without becoming decorative.
The condensed proportions create strong vertical rhythm and allow dense setting without looking cramped. Numerals appear aligned and compact, matching the letterforms’ narrow stance and crisp finish, which helps maintain a consistent texture across mixed content.
