A tall, tightly drawn sans with condensed proportions and a pronounced vertical rhythm. Strokes read mostly even, but with noticeable flare and taper at joins and terminals that creates a subtle high-contrast feel in places, especially on diagonals and pointed forms. Curves are compact and elliptical, counters are narrow, and many terminals finish with slightly sharpened or wedge-like ends rather than perfectly flat cuts. Uppercase forms are narrow and upright with crisp geometry; lowercase maintains a straightforward, functional construction with compact bowls and short extenders that keep the texture dense.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and posters where vertical emphasis and space efficiency are valuable. It can work in editorial settings for pull quotes or narrow-column titling, and for packaging or signage that needs a compact, impactful line length. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes where the tight counters and dense rhythm have room to breathe.
The overall tone is efficient and contemporary, with an assertive, no-nonsense voice. Its compressed width and sharpish terminals add a hint of urgency and drama, giving it an editorial, poster-ready energy while still reading as clean and systematic.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving sans voice with a strong vertical cadence and crisp, slightly tapered terminals. It prioritizes compactness and impact while retaining a clean, modern silhouette suitable for contemporary display typography.
Round letters like O/Q/0 appear distinctly oval and vertically oriented, reinforcing the condensed stance. The digit set and punctuation in the sample text keep the same narrow, upright posture, producing a consistent, compact color that feels designed for tight columns or limited space.
