A compact, condensed sans with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, clean edges. Curves are rounded but tightly drawn, while vertical stems dominate, giving the design a tall, efficient silhouette. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend toward closed, producing a dense, ink-rich texture in text. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and a double-storey “g,” with short, sturdy arms and terminals that read as squared or sharply finished rather than soft or flared.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, branding lockups, packaging, and short signage where its condensed width and strong contrast can maximize impact. It can work for brief editorial subheads or pull quotes, but long passages will read heavy and benefit from larger sizes and extra leading.
The overall tone is confident and forceful, with a slightly retro, headline-driven presence. Its dense color and vertical emphasis feel utilitarian and no-nonsense, while the contrast adds a touch of drama suited to attention-grabbing statements.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space, combining a compact sans structure with dramatic stroke modulation for emphasis. Its consistent vertical rhythm and tight counters suggest a focus on bold, economical display typography rather than delicate text rendering.
Numerals follow the same condensed, high-impact rhythm, with simple, legible forms that maintain the font’s compact spacing and strong vertical stress. In continuous text, the heavy strokes and tight counters create a dark typographic color that benefits from generous line spacing and careful size selection.
