A tall, condensed sans with a slightly calligraphic, tapered stroke behavior that creates clear thick–thin modulation. Curves are narrow and open, with small-radius joins and a generally crisp, clean edge. Terminals tend to be subtly flared or wedge-like rather than blunt, giving many letters a sharpened, ink-trap-adjacent feel in tight corners. The rhythm is lively and uneven in an intentional way, with distinctive proportions across letters and a compact, vertical silhouette throughout.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short-to-medium display text where its condensed proportions and tapered modulation can add character without sacrificing legibility. It can work well in editorial decks, poster work, packaging, and branding systems that want a retro-leaning, distinctive voice. For dense body text, its narrow width and lively detailing may feel busy, but it excels when given space and scale.
The font conveys a vintage, display-forward personality—confident and a bit eccentric—balancing clarity with a hand-influenced edge. Its condensed stance and sharp terminals suggest mid-century poster and headline energy, while the tapered strokes add warmth and character that feels less clinical than a standard grotesk.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed display sans with a noticeable, stylized modulation—combining the efficiency of narrow letterforms with a distinctive, slightly hand-influenced sharpness for impactful typographic voice.
Capitals read strongly and upright, while the lowercase keeps a narrow footprint with recognizable, slightly idiosyncratic forms (notably in curved letters and diagonals). Numerals follow the same tall, condensed logic and maintain a consistent color with the alphabet, supporting prominent use in headings and short strings.
