A tightly proportioned, condensed display face with strong thick–thin modulation and a distinctly vertical rhythm. Curves are drawn with smooth, rounded-rectangle logic, producing compact bowls and oval counters that feel controlled rather than calligraphic. Stems are heavy and straight, while joins and terminals stay clean and pared back; the contrast shows up clearly in letters like S, C, and the numerals, where hairline-like transitions sharpen the silhouette. Spacing is disciplined and the overall texture is dense, giving words a tall, columnar presence.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short bursts of text where compact width and strong contrast can create impact. It works well for magazine and editorial typography, brand wordmarks, packaging titles, and signage that benefits from a tall, tight footprint. In longer passages it will be most effective at larger sizes with comfortable leading.
The tone is confident and editorial, balancing modern restraint with a hint of theatrical contrast. Its compressed width and sculpted curves create a punchy, poster-ready voice that feels serious, stylish, and slightly dramatic without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, pairing condensed proportions with sculpted, high-contrast forms for strong hierarchy. Its consistent geometry and restrained detailing suggest a focus on clean, contemporary display typography with an editorial sensibility.
Capitals read especially commanding due to their tall proportions and narrow internal counters, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian structure. Numerals are equally condensed and contrasty, matching the letterforms’ vertical emphasis and producing a cohesive, headline-centric set.
