A condensed display face with tall proportions, tight counters, and pronounced vertical emphasis. Strokes show clear contrast, with heavy stems and noticeably thinner cross-strokes and joins, creating a crisp, rhythmic texture in text. Terminals are mostly flat and clean, and curves are compact and controlled, keeping the overall silhouette firm and upright. The lowercase maintains a straightforward structure with a single-storey a and g and a sturdy, compact overall rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short blocks of editorial display where compact width and strong contrast are assets. It can work well for branding, packaging, and mastheads that need a tall, high-impact typographic voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the contrast reads cleanly.
The tone is bold and declarative, with a modern, poster-like presence that feels assertive and slightly formal. Its condensed stance and sharp contrast give it a cinematic, headline-forward energy—confident, attention-seeking, and designed to read as a strong graphic statement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact within a narrow footprint, combining condensed proportions with strong contrast to create a striking display texture. It prioritizes graphic presence and vertical rhythm for attention-driven typography rather than long-form neutrality.
In the sample text, the heavy verticals create a strong stripe pattern, while the thinner horizontals help preserve interior space and letter recognition at larger sizes. The numerals and capitals follow the same tall, compact logic, supporting a consistent, impactful texture across mixed-case settings.
