A tall, tightly set sans with compact letterforms and a distinctly condensed rhythm. Strokes are largely monoline, with rounded-rectangle curves that keep bowls and counters smooth and slightly squared. Terminals are clean and blunt, and the overall drawing is straight-backed and vertical, producing a strong, continuous texture in lines of text. Round characters like O and 0 read as elongated superellipses, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) stay narrow and controlled to preserve the compressed width.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where vertical emphasis and space efficiency are useful, such as posters, branding lockups, packaging, and signage. It can also work for subheads or UI labels when a compact, modern voice is desired and adequate size is maintained.
The font conveys a contemporary, utilitarian tone—direct, efficient, and a bit assertive. Its compressed stature and clean construction suggest an urban, poster-driven energy rather than a casual or literary voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, pairing condensed proportions with rounded-rectangular geometry for a clean, contemporary look. The consistent monoline construction prioritizes clarity and impact in display settings.
The condensed proportions make word shapes stack into a dense, high-contrast page rhythm even without stroke contrast. Curves stay consistently rounded, giving the design a cohesive ‘softened geometry’ that prevents the narrow forms from feeling brittle.
