A condensed display face with compact proportions and a tall, high-waisted silhouette. Strokes are clean and mostly monoline with subtle contrast, and curves are built from smooth, rounded-rectangle geometry that keeps counters tight and controlled. Uppercase forms are narrow with vertical emphasis, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, legible structure with small, rounded terminals and minimal modulation. Numerals follow the same compact rhythm, producing an even, columnar texture in settings.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where a compact footprint is valuable, such as posters, mastheads, packaging, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for pull quotes or subheads when you want a tall, condensed rhythm without overt ornament.
The overall tone feels direct and punchy, with a refined retro flavor reminiscent of condensed headline typography. Its tight forms and crisp finish give it a confident, slightly formal voice that reads as purposeful rather than playful.
Likely designed to deliver strong impact in limited horizontal space, pairing a condensed structure with softened, superelliptical curves for a controlled, contemporary finish. The intention appears to balance bold presence with a clean, orderly reading texture for display typography.
The design’s narrow width and closed apertures create a dense typographic color, especially in longer lines. Round letters (like O and C) stay more superelliptical than circular, reinforcing a constructed, modernized classic look.
