A condensed, tall typeface with softened corners and subtly sculpted strokes that create a gentle, tapered rhythm. Curves read as rounded-rectangular/superelliptical rather than purely geometric circles, while vertical stems stay dominant and straight. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with occasional slight flare or narrowing that adds definition in joins and at ends. Counters are relatively tight, giving the letters a dense, efficient texture; spacing appears measured for display use, keeping words compact and vertically emphatic.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where its condensed width and tall proportions create impact without consuming horizontal space. It works well for posters, packaging, and branding systems that want a retro editorial flavor, and can also serve on book covers or pull quotes where a strong vertical rhythm is desirable.
The overall tone feels retro-modern and editorial, combining compact, space-saving proportions with a friendly softness in the curves. It carries an assertive, poster-like presence while avoiding harshness, resulting in a voice that can be both authoritative and slightly playful.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact display typography in a compact footprint, using soft, superelliptical curvature and subtle stroke shaping to keep the look approachable while retaining a decisive, structured presence.
The uppercase forms project strong verticality, and the lowercase keeps a clear, readable silhouette with distinctive bowl shapes and compact apertures. Numerals share the same narrow, upright stance, maintaining consistency across text and figures.
