A compact, tall sans with tightly controlled proportions and a distinctly condensed rhythm. Strokes are robust and even, with simplified terminals and minimal modulation, producing a strong, poster-like color on the page. Curves are rounded but not soft, with oval counters and generally open apertures; joints stay clean and direct rather than calligraphic. Uppercase forms read narrow and upright, while the lowercase maintains a practical x-height and short extenders, keeping lines dense and space-efficient. Numerals follow the same condensed, uniform-stroke logic for a cohesive set.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and display settings where space is limited and a firm typographic presence is needed. It can work for posters, mastheads, packaging, and labels, especially when a compact, vertically emphasized voice helps organize dense layouts.
The overall tone is assertive and economical, prioritizing clarity and impact over delicacy. Its condensed, tall stance gives it a subtly retro, utilitarian flavor that feels at home in headlines and compact typographic systems.
Likely designed to deliver maximum readability and impact in narrow measure, balancing simple geometric construction with enough warmth in the curves to stay approachable. The emphasis appears to be on efficient, high-contrast-in-size typography for titling and branding systems that need a condensed footprint.
The tight letterfit and strong vertical emphasis create a consistent texture in running text, but the heavy, condensed construction makes it most comfortable at larger sizes where interior counters can breathe. The forms remain restrained and functional, with a no-nonsense, sign-like simplicity.
