This typeface is a condensed, high-density design with tall proportions and compact counters. Strokes are firm and fairly uniform, with subtle modulation visible in curves and joins rather than overt calligraphic contrast. Many rounds read as squared-off ovals, giving bowls and figures a slightly superelliptical, vertical emphasis. Terminals are clean and mostly straight, and the overall rhythm is tight, producing a strong, continuous texture in lines of text.
It performs best in headlines, subheads, and display settings where space is limited and impact is needed. The condensed build also suits signage and packaging panels that need strong legibility at larger sizes and high information density.
The overall tone is direct and no-nonsense, with an editorial, headline-ready presence. Its compressed width and sturdy strokes create an assertive voice that feels contemporary and functional rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to maximize presence and readability within a narrow measure, using tall proportions and squared-round geometry to keep forms stable and consistent. It aims to deliver a modern, efficient texture that holds up in bold, attention-driven typographic layouts.
Capitals are notably narrow and tall, while lowercase maintains a compact, efficient structure with small apertures and counters. Numerals follow the same condensed logic, with simplified shapes and clear vertical stress that helps them align well in dense settings.
