A tightly condensed display sans with tall proportions and pronounced thick–thin contrast. Strokes are predominantly straight and vertical, with rounded-rectangle curves that stay controlled and compact rather than fully circular. Counters are narrow and often vertically oriented, and joins/terminals read as clean and sharply resolved, producing a crisp, poster-like rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same compressed stance, with strong vertical emphasis and compact sidebearings that create dense texture in lines of text.
Best used where space is limited but impact is needed: headlines, subheads, posters, mastheads, and cover typography. It also suits branding and packaging that benefits from a tall, condensed wordmark look and high-contrast punch.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, with an editorial polish that feels suited to big statements. Its compressed, high-contrast construction gives it a fashion-forward, headline-driven personality—sleek, intense, and attention-seeking rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, combining modern, clean sans construction with a dramatic contrast for strong typographic hierarchy. Its geometry and controlled rounding aim for a refined display voice that remains structured and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
In the sample text, the face builds strong vertical striping and dramatic word shapes; it stays legible at large sizes but can feel visually busy in longer passages due to the tight apertures and dense spacing. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian structure that supports mixed-case settings while still reading primarily as a display style.
