A tall, tightly set condensed sans with rounded, softly tapered terminals and subtly modulated strokes. Curves are smooth and slightly ovalized, with narrow bowls and counters that keep a compact footprint while maintaining clarity. The design favors simplified geometry and straight-sided verticals, with gentle joins and a consistently narrow rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. Lowercase forms read cleanly with a moderate x-height and compact apertures, and the overall texture stays even and dark without becoming spiky or brittle.
Best suited to display settings where space is limited but impact is needed—headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a condensed, high-energy voice. It can work for short editorial subheads and pull quotes, but its dense color and narrow counters make it more effective at larger sizes than for extended reading.
The tone is bold and upbeat with a vintage poster sensibility, combining approachability from the rounded endings with an assertive, headline-ready stance. Its condensed proportions add urgency and punch, giving it a slightly theatrical, mid-century editorial feel.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, pairing condensed proportions with rounded terminals for a distinctive, friendly display voice. Its consistent stroke behavior and simplified forms suggest an emphasis on fast recognition and strong typographic color in titles and branding.
In text samples, the narrow width creates a strong vertical cadence that suits stacked lines and tight columns. Round letters (like O/Q) appear more elliptical than circular, reinforcing the condensed character, and the numerals match the letterforms’ tall, compact presence for cohesive titling.
