A tall, tightly condensed display sans with pronounced vertical stress and a strong thick–thin contrast. Many strokes end in squared, blunt terminals, while curved letters resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) bowls, giving the forms a disciplined, geometric feel. Counters are relatively small and closed, and the overall rhythm is narrow and vertical, with straight-sided curves and minimal modulation in curvature. Numerals follow the same condensed, high-impact construction, with simple, compact shapes designed to hold together at headline sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, magazine titles, and other short-form typography where a compact footprint and strong contrast help text stand out. It can work well for branding and packaging when a tall, high-impact wordmark is needed, and is less appropriate for long passages due to its dense, compressed rhythm.
The overall tone feels assertive and theatrical, with a poster-era, editorial sensibility. Its compressed silhouettes and sharp contrast create a dramatic, attention-grabbing voice that reads as confident and stylish rather than neutral.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, combining geometric, rounded-rectangle bowls with stark contrast for a refined yet punchy display look. The consistent vertical emphasis suggests an intention toward modernized vintage signage and editorial titling.
The design leans heavily on vertical stems and narrow apertures, producing a dense texture in text lines. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, non-calligraphic structure, and the punctuation and figures visually match the same condensed, graphic logic.
