A tightly condensed display sans with tall proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are mostly monolinear in feel, with subtle contrast and softened corners that give many forms a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) impression. Counters are narrow and often vertically oriented, and several letters use bulbous or teardrop-like terminals, producing a sculpted, ink-trap-adjacent look at joins and curve endings. The overall texture is dense and dark, with compact widths, short crossbars, and simplified geometry that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where compression and high contrast-to-background can work in your favor: headlines, poster titles, logotypes, packaging callouts, and magazine/editorial display. It can also function for UI labels or navigation only at larger sizes where the tight apertures and dense color remain clear.
The face reads assertive and theatrical, evoking vintage editorial and poster typography. Its compressed stance and stylized terminals create a confident, slightly eccentric tone that feels both classic and attention-seeking rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining condensed proportions with softened geometry to keep the shapes approachable while staying bold and commanding. The stylized terminals and narrow counters suggest a deliberate display focus aimed at recognizable word shapes and a distinctive, vintage-leaning voice.
Uppercase forms lean toward signage-like silhouettes with closed or nearly closed apertures (notably in letters like C, G, and S). Lowercase shows distinctive, sometimes single-storey constructions and narrow bowls that keep word shapes tall and compact. Figures follow the same condensed logic, with strong vertical emphasis and minimal interior space, supporting high-impact settings.
