A condensed, monoline-to-moderate-contrast sans with tall proportions and a distinctly editorial stance. Strokes are clean and even, with subtle swelling through curves and a strong vertical rhythm. Round letters are drawn as tightened, rounded-rectangle forms, while terminals finish with crisp, squared cuts rather than flared or bracketed details. Counters are compact, apertures tend to be controlled, and the overall spacing favors a tight, economical texture that holds together well in dense lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where a condensed voice can add hierarchy without taking up much width. It also works well for posters, book and magazine covers, and branding systems that need a refined, slightly vintage modern tone while remaining clean and legible.
The tone reads poised and slightly retro, evoking mid‑century publishing and display titling. Its narrow stance and crisp terminals give it an authoritative, “headline in a magazine” feeling, while the softened geometry keeps it from becoming stark or purely utilitarian.
The design appears aimed at delivering a compact, high-impact text color with a polished, publication-ready feel. Its rounded-rectangle construction and tight rhythm suggest an intention to balance geometric clarity with a softened, sophisticated finish for contemporary editorial display.
Uppercase forms feel tall and disciplined, with strong straight stems and carefully restrained curves. Numerals follow the same condensed, sculpted logic, producing a cohesive set for typographic composition where figures need to align visually with caps and text.
