A tall, tightly condensed sans with a distinctly vertical stance and disciplined rhythm. Strokes are mostly monolinear with subtle contrast, and terminals read clean and squared-off, giving the shapes a carved, cut-from-solid feel. Curves are compact and controlled, with rounded-rectangle logic in bowls and counters (notably in O/Q/0 and b/d/p/q), while joins stay crisp and uncluttered. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, utilitarian construction with a modest x-height relative to the long ascenders and descenders, and the numerals follow the same narrow, upright proportions for a consistent texture in mixed setting.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and poster typography where verticality and space efficiency are important. It can work for packaging and signage that benefits from a strong, condensed word shape, and for editorial layouts needing a consistent, high-impact display voice.
The overall tone is assertive and streamlined, with a classic “condensed headline” confidence. Its compressed proportions and firm edges suggest modern industrial signage and editorial display work, delivering impact without ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, pairing compressed proportions with clean, modern shapes. It aims for a controlled, contemporary display aesthetic that stays legible and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
In longer lines, the narrow letters create a dense, even color that reads especially well at larger sizes. The round characters maintain compact counters, so spacing and rhythm feel more engineered than airy, reinforcing its poster and masthead character.
