A tightly condensed sans with tall proportions and a mostly uniform stroke weight. Curves are clean and rounded, but several joins and terminals show subtle tapering and wedge-like shaping, creating a slightly calligraphic snap within an otherwise monoline structure. Counters are compact and vertical rhythm is strong, with narrow apertures and a consistent, high-impact texture. Figures follow the same condensed geometry, with smooth, rounded bowls and a crisp, upright stance.
Best suited to headlines, posters, titles, and branding where a tall, condensed presence is desirable. It can also work for short subheads and packaging copy when set with comfortable tracking and generous line spacing to avoid a cramped feel at smaller sizes.
The overall tone feels retro and stage-ready—confident, slightly quirky, and designed to attract attention. Its narrow, tall silhouette reads as urban and poster-like, with a hint of vintage signage in the tapered details.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while retaining friendly roundness. Subtle tapering at terminals and joins adds a distinctive voice aimed at display typography rather than neutral, long-form reading.
In text, the condensed width produces a dense color and strong vertical emphasis; individual letterforms remain recognizable, but spacing feels intentionally tight and display-oriented. The mix of rounded bowls and sharper internal joins adds character without becoming ornamental.
