A condensed, vertically oriented display face with strong stroke modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. The letterforms are tall and compact, with tight internal spacing and a steady, upright stance. Curves show pronounced thick–thin transitions and a slightly calligraphic, vertical stress, while straight strokes remain clean and assertive. Counters are relatively small for the width, and joins and terminals often finish in sharp points or subtle teardrops, giving the shapes a sculpted, high-impact silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, magazine mastheads, poster typography, and brand marks where a condensed footprint and dramatic contrast are desirable. It can work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes or subheads, but the dense, high-contrast texture is most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is editorial and dramatic, pairing elegance with intensity. Its compact proportions and strong contrast project confidence and formality, while the tapered details add a stylish, slightly theatrical flair.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, attention-grabbing voice that feels refined yet forceful. By combining tall condensed proportions with sharply tapered terminals and pronounced modulation, it aims to stand out in display settings while maintaining a controlled, contemporary structure.
Uppercase forms read particularly monumental due to the tall proportions and compact widths, and the numerals echo the same modulated, display-driven rhythm. In text, the strong contrast and tight fit create a dense texture that emphasizes verticality and punch over quiet continuity.
