A tall, tightly set sans with compact proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms rather than purely circular bowls, giving letters like C, O, and G a controlled, superelliptical feel. Strokes stay largely uniform with subtle modulation, and terminals are clean and squared-off in places, producing crisp edges and clear counters despite the narrow set. Lowercase shows simple, sturdy constructions with single-storey a and g, and the figures follow the same condensed, high-contrast-in-silhouette structure for consistent color in text and headlines.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and branding where horizontal space is limited but impact is needed. It also works well for packaging and editorial display settings that benefit from a condensed, modern texture and consistent rhythm across mixed-case text and numerals.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, with a slightly industrial, poster-like presence. Its compressed geometry reads efficient and focused, lending a no-nonsense voice that still feels refined enough for editorial display.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal width, pairing condensed proportions with rounded-rectangle geometry for a distinctive, modern display voice. It aims for legibility through simplified forms and clear counters while maintaining a strong, compact typographic color.
Because of the narrow widths, spacing and fit feel intentionally compact; the design relies on tall ascenders/caps and simplified shapes to maintain clarity. The superelliptical rounding adds warmth without softening the overall, high-impact texture.
