A condensed, display-oriented face with tall proportions and tightly packed counters. Strokes are heavy with noticeable contrast that reads through vertical emphasis and tapered joins, giving many forms a chiseled, cut-in look. Curves tend toward rounded-rectangle geometry with squared shoulders and narrow apertures, while terminals often finish in sharp wedges or flat cuts. The overall rhythm is compact and upright, with strong verticals and carefully controlled curvature that keeps letters crisp at large sizes.
Best suited for headlines and short blocks of copy where its condensed width and sculpted forms can carry impact. It works well in posters, magazine titles, branding lockups, and packaging where a strong vertical presence and distinctive texture help typography stand out.
The font projects a bold, slightly theatrical tone—part vintage headline, part modern condensed poster face. Its narrow stance and sculpted detailing create a confident, attention-grabbing voice that feels suited to impactful messaging rather than neutral text setting.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a narrow footprint, combining superelliptical roundness with sharpened terminals and tapered joins to create a distinctive, high-impact display texture.
In the samples, rounded letters keep tight internal space, and several glyphs show pronounced notches/tapers at joins that add texture. Numerals follow the same tall, condensed logic, maintaining consistent weight and a strong editorial presence.
