This typeface is built around tall, condensed proportions and heavily weighted strokes with subtly modulated contrast. Curves are formed with rounded-rectangle logic, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than pure circles, while terminals tend to be blunt and confident. Many joins and inside corners show sharpened notches that read like ink-trap detailing, helping dense shapes stay open at display sizes. The rhythm is tightly spaced and vertical, with narrow apertures and compact internal counters that create a strong, uniform texture in words and lines.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a condensed footprint and strong presence are helpful. It also works for editorial display lines and signage that benefits from high contrast between black letter shapes and background. For longer passages, it will read most comfortably at larger sizes where the tight counters and apertures have room to breathe.
The overall tone feels assertive and utilitarian, with a slightly retro, print-era flavor. Its compressed stance and dark color suggest urgency and impact, while the softened geometry keeps it from feeling harsh. The result is confident and attention-grabbing without leaning into ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectilinear curves and notched joins to preserve clarity in a heavy, condensed build. Its consistent, vertical structure suggests a focus on bold display typography with a controlled, engineered feel.
In text samples the font produces a dark, continuous typographic color, and individual letterforms rely on distinctive notched joins and squared curves for recognition. Numerals follow the same condensed, weighty construction, maintaining consistency with the uppercase and lowercase. The lowercase shows a compact, workmanlike silhouette that reinforces the font’s dense vertical cadence.
