A condensed, upright sans with crisp outlines and subtly sculpted curves that keep rounds feeling taut rather than bubbly. Strokes maintain a steady rhythm with gentle modulation, and terminals are clean and decisive, giving the forms a disciplined, vertical texture. The capitals are tall and narrow with compact bowls (notably in B, P, R), while the lowercase shows a straightforward construction with a two-storey a and single-storey g, open apertures, and neatly controlled joins. Numerals follow the same narrow proportions, reading clearly and evenly alongside the letters.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where a compact measure and strong vertical rhythm are desirable. It also works for branding and packaging that need a clean, confident voice with a slightly formal edge, and for posters where condensed forms help maximize impact in limited space.
The overall tone is editorial and refined, balancing modern cleanliness with a slightly formal, poster-ready presence. Its condensed proportions and steady verticality lend an authoritative, headline-like voice without feeling ornamental or quirky.
Likely designed to provide a space-saving, modern display sans that remains crisp and legible while delivering an elevated, editorial character. The controlled curves and consistent rhythm suggest an aim for versatile headline performance rather than text-first neutrality.
The typeface’s narrow set and consistent spacing produce a strong columnar rhythm, making it feel efficient and space-conscious. Curved letters stay compact with restrained, clean shaping, which helps maintain clarity at display sizes and in dense lines.
