A tall, tightly set sans with strongly condensed proportions and a lively, slightly uneven rhythm. Strokes are mostly monolinear but with noticeable modulation in curves and joins, and terminals tend to finish with soft rounding rather than sharp cuts. Counters skew oval and vertically oriented, giving letters like O and U a narrow, elongated feel. The lowercase is compact with a small x-height and prominent ascenders/descenders; the two-storey a and the looped g add distinctive texture. Numerals are similarly narrow, with a high-contrast silhouette between straight stems and rounded bowls, reinforcing a compact, vertical color in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of copy where condensed width is an advantage, such as posters, magazine layouts, and book-cover titling. It can also work for branding or packaging that benefits from a retro, characterful narrow sans, especially when set with generous leading.
The overall tone feels vintage and display-leaning, with a playful, slightly eccentric character that reads as human and expressive rather than strictly mechanical. Its compressed verticality brings an editorial, poster-like energy, while the rounded shaping keeps it approachable.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, space-saving voice with memorable, slightly unconventional letterforms. Its goal seems to be clear display impact and a distinctive rhythm, balancing narrow geometry with softened curves for warmth and personality.
In running text, the font creates a strong vertical cadence and dense word shapes; spacing and narrow counters can make smaller sizes feel busy, while larger sizes highlight its distinctive forms. The punctuation and dots read clearly and contribute to the crisp, compact texture.
