A compact, vertically oriented display sans with tall proportions and tightly controlled spacing. Strokes are heavy and show pronounced contrast, with many joins and terminals tapering into sharp, triangular points that create a carved, ink-trap-like texture. Counters are narrow and often rectangular or superelliptic, giving rounds a squared-off rhythm (notably in O/C/G and the bowls). The overall silhouette is built from straight stems and compressed curves, producing a dense, columnar color in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, mastheads, and bold brand lockups where its condensed footprint and dramatic contrast can carry the composition. It can also work for packaging and labels that benefit from a vintage-leaning, high-energy voice, but is less suited to long passages at small sizes due to its dense texture and tight counters.
The tone is assertive and theatrical, with a vintage poster sensibility. Its sharp tapers and condensed stance feel punchy and urgent, balancing elegance with a slightly gritty, stamped or cut-letter edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining condensed geometry with high-contrast detailing for a distinctive display voice. The superelliptic, squared-round forms and sharp tapering terminals suggest an aim for a stylized, poster-ready look that remains clean and systematic across the set.
The uppercase reads especially tall and monumental, while the lowercase maintains a similarly narrow, upright cadence. Numerals follow the same condensed logic, with simplified shapes and strong vertical emphasis that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
