This typeface is a condensed, tall sans with pronounced stroke modulation: verticals read as heavier while curves and joins thin down, creating a sharp, graphic rhythm. Terminals are mostly straight and clean, with squared shoulders and tightly controlled apertures that keep counters compact. The uppercase is streamlined and vertical, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, compact structure; ascenders are prominent and the overall fit feels tight for strong word shapes. Numerals follow the same condensed, high-contrast construction with simple, legible forms.
Best suited for display typography where density and impact matter: headlines, posters, magazine and editorial titles, and branding systems that need a strong vertical presence. It can also work for short subheads and pull quotes, especially when you want a clean sans with a more refined, contrasted texture than a monoline design.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, with an editorial sharpness that feels designed for impact. Its condensed proportions and crisp modulation give it a poised, slightly dramatic voice—more headline-forward than conversational.
The design appears aimed at delivering a condensed, high-impact sans voice with refined modulation for a more upscale, editorial feel. Its disciplined geometry and tight proportions suggest an intention to maximize presence and readability in large sizes while maintaining a sleek, modern texture.
The contrast is most noticeable where rounded forms taper into thinner strokes, giving letters like C, G, O, S, and the bowls of B and P a sculpted feel. Spacing and proportions emphasize verticality, helping lines of text look compact and controlled in display settings.
