A tall, tightly condensed sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves throughout. Strokes read largely monolinear with a slight optical modulation at joins, and terminals are clean and blunt rather than tapered. Counters are narrow and vertically oriented, giving letters a compact, poster-like density, while bowls and arches keep a consistent superelliptical rhythm. Lowercase follows the same narrow proportions, with simple, single-storey forms and compact apertures; numerals are equally tall and compressed for a uniform vertical cadence.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where vertical emphasis and compact width are advantages. It performs well in short to medium display lines, labels, and signage that benefit from high impact and a clean, geometric texture; it is less ideal for extended small-size reading due to its tightly compressed counters.
The overall tone is confident and graphic, pairing a streamlined, contemporary feel with a subtle vintage sign-painter/Art Deco echo from its elongated proportions and rounded-rect geometry. It feels energetic and attention-seeking without becoming ornamental, projecting clarity and efficiency in a distinctly condensed voice.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using a rounded-rectangle geometry to keep condensed forms friendly and consistent. Its letterforms prioritize strong silhouettes and rhythmic repetition, aiming for a distinctive display voice that remains straightforward and legible in typical headline sizes.
The design’s tight sidebearings and narrow counters create strong texture in lines of text, especially in all-caps settings. Rounded corners and consistent curve logic help prevent the condensed shapes from feeling brittle, maintaining a smooth, cohesive silhouette across letters and digits.
