A tightly compressed, all-caps-friendly sans with tall proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes read mostly straight-sided and modular, with rounded-rectangle curves in bowls and counters that keep the geometry crisp rather than soft. Terminals are clean and flat, joins are sharp, and the contrast between thick stems and thinner connecting strokes is most noticeable in diagonals and curved forms. The lowercase is narrow and tall with compact apertures, and the numerals follow the same condensed, upright structure for a consistent set across text and display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and any layout where height and density are assets—magazine covers, posters, packaging, and bold brand wordmarks. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation where space is limited, but it’s strongest when used for impactful, larger-size typography rather than long-form paragraphs.
The overall tone feels direct and headline-driven, with a contemporary, metropolitan flavor. Its compressed stance and clean geometry suggest urgency and authority, leaning toward editorial and poster typography rather than casual everyday reading.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing a condensed silhouette with clean, geometric construction. It aims for a modern, structured look that stays legible and consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals while projecting a confident display voice.
Spacing appears deliberately tight and vertical, helping words form strong rectangular blocks. Round letters like O/C and bowls like B/P show the superelliptical rounding, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) stay crisp and energetic, reinforcing the font’s graphic, sign-like presence.
