A highly condensed, monoline sans with extreme vertical proportions and softly rounded, superelliptical shaping. Strokes stay even and clean, with terminals that read as squared-off but eased at the corners, producing an elegant “rounded rectangle” feel. Counters are compact and upright, and the typeface relies on long vertical stems and narrow bowls to create its rhythm; several lowercase forms show notably tall ascenders/descenders relative to the small x-height. The numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction, keeping the set consistent for display use.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short display settings where its condensed width can save space while still delivering impact. It fits well in editorial layouts, posters, branding wordmarks, and packaging systems that benefit from a tall, graphic typographic voice.
The overall tone is sharp and theatrical, mixing a sleek modern outline with a slightly vintage, poster-like attitude. Its tall, compressed silhouette adds drama and urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps it friendly rather than severe.
The design intent appears to be a space-efficient display sans that emphasizes verticality and a refined geometric construction. By combining narrow proportions with rounded-rectangular curves and long extenders, it aims to deliver a distinctive, high-impact texture for attention-grabbing typography.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and the condensed construction makes vertical strokes dominate the texture, which can create a strong stripe-like pattern in lines of text. The small x-height and pronounced extenders give a distinctive, stylized cadence that reads best when size and leading provide room for the long vertical forms.
