A condensed sans with tall proportions and compact sidebearings, built from simple geometric strokes and rounded bowls. Stems are straight and vertical, with minimal modulation and clean, mostly squared terminals that keep the texture even. Round letters like O/C/G read as narrow ovals, while counters stay open enough for clarity; diagonals in A/V/W/X are sharply cut and consistent. Lowercase forms are straightforward and contemporary, with a single-storey a and a slender, vertical rhythm that remains legible in both display lines and mixed-case text.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where a compact, high-impact word shape is needed. It also works for editorial decks, captions, and packaging callouts when horizontal space is limited but a strong typographic presence is desired.
The overall tone is direct and modern, with a space-saving, headline-oriented energy. Its narrow, tall stance feels efficient and urban, lending a slightly industrial, no-nonsense voice that reads well in bold statements and condensed layouts.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, contemporary sans that maintains strong presence at larger sizes. It prioritizes tight composition, clear silhouettes, and consistent rhythm for modern display typography.
In the sample text, the font creates a strong vertical cadence and tight word shapes, making it effective for fitting long headlines into limited width. Numerals follow the same condensed logic and appear designed for clear, consistent alignment in dense typographic settings.
