A compact, condensed text face with sturdy vertical stems and clearly defined, slightly bracketed serifs that read as crisp terminals rather than decorative flourishes. Curves are smooth and fairly round, with a controlled modulation between thick and thin that keeps counters open and legible at text sizes. Proportions feel tall and efficient, with tight sidebearings and a strong vertical rhythm; round letters like O and C are narrow and upright, and joins stay clean without calligraphic wobble. Numerals are lining and sturdy, matching the uppercase weight and maintaining a consistent, print-like texture across runs of text.
Works well for headlines and subheads where space is limited but impact is needed, such as magazine layouts, posters, and packaging. It can also serve for short text blocks, captions, or navigation where a compact, structured typographic color is desirable.
The overall tone is confident and editorial, with a no-nonsense clarity that suggests headlines and structured content. Its condensed build and firm strokes give it an assertive presence while still feeling neutral enough for modern, information-forward design.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, high-impact voice with consistent rhythm and reliable readability. It balances contemporary round construction with subtle terminal structure to feel both modern and editorial.
In the text sample the face holds a dark, even color and maintains clarity through dense paragraphs, suggesting it’s optimized for compact settings. The lowercase shows practical shapes (notably the single-storey-style simplicity in some forms and straightforward terminals) that keep the texture steady and readable, while the capitals remain strong and poster-capable.
