This typeface is a tightly condensed sans with tall proportions and a high-waisted feel, emphasizing vertical strokes and narrow counters. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle forms, giving bowls and rounds a controlled, superelliptical smoothness rather than geometric circles. Stroke endings are clean and largely unbracketed, with a subtle sense of modulation that shows most clearly in the joins and curved strokes. The lowercase is compact with a relatively restrained x-height, while ascenders and descenders are pronounced, creating a clear vertical rhythm. Numerals follow the same condensed structure, reading clean and consistent alongside the letters.
It is well suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where space is limited but impact is needed. The condensed build also works for branding and packaging systems that benefit from tall, compact wordmarks and a controlled, modern tone.
The overall tone is serious and editorial, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its compressed proportions and crisp shapes feel contemporary and assertive, leaning more toward headline sophistication than casual friendliness.
The font appears designed to deliver a compact, high-impact voice with disciplined, superelliptical curves and a consistent vertical rhythm. Its proportions suggest an intention to maximize economy of space while retaining clarity and a polished, contemporary finish.
The design maintains a steady, narrow cadence across the alphabet, with minimal ornament and a strong emphasis on verticality. Round letters keep a firm, squared-off curvature, which helps the font stay stable and disciplined at display sizes.
