A tightly condensed sans with tall proportions and a consistent, even stroke that keeps the color strong and steady across lines. Curves are compact and controlled, producing narrow bowls and counters, while verticals dominate the rhythm for a stacked, space-efficient texture. Terminals read clean and direct, with occasional distinctive shapes (notably in rounded letters and the Q) that add character without breaking overall consistency. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction for a uniform, sign-like set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and branding systems where a tall condensed silhouette helps fit more characters per line while staying impactful. It also works well for signage-style layouts, pull quotes, and editorial display typography where strong vertical rhythm and compact spacing are desirable.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and assertive, with a slightly retro, display-leaning character created by the tall condensed stance and compact curves. It reads as confident and attention-grabbing, with just enough idiosyncrasy to feel distinctive rather than purely neutral.
The design appears intended as a condensed display sans that maximizes presence in limited horizontal space, pairing steady stroke weight with compact, controlled curves. It aims for high impact and clear silhouette at larger sizes, with subtle character details to differentiate it from more anonymous condensed faces.
The condensed width and compact counters create strong vertical emphasis, making the face feel dense and efficient in multi-line settings. It maintains a steady baseline and straightforward geometry that supports clear word shapes, while the narrow forms can increase visual intensity in longer passages.
