This typeface is extremely tall and tightly set, with long vertical stems and compact bowls that read as rounded-rectangle forms rather than pure circles. Strokes stay mostly uniform, with gentle contrast showing up in curves and joins, and terminals are clean and blunt. Counters are narrow and vertically oriented, giving letters like O, D, and U a superelliptical, column-like silhouette. The lowercase maintains a straightforward construction with simple shoulders and arches, and the numerals follow the same condensed, upright rhythm for a consistent texture.
It performs best where space is tight but impact is needed—headlines, subheads, posters, and packaging panels benefit from its condensed height and clear vertical rhythm. It can also suit branding systems that want a modern, editorial voice, especially for short to medium strings where the narrow counters remain comfortable to read.
The overall tone is sleek and contemporary, with a fashion-leaning, editorial crispness. Its narrow, high-waisted proportions and restrained detailing create a composed, slightly dramatic presence that feels refined rather than playful.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern condensed voice with a distinctive rounded-rectangle geometry, balancing clean sans construction with a memorable silhouette. The consistent narrow proportions across letters and numbers suggest an emphasis on strong headline presence and space-efficient typography without ornamental distraction.
The design’s defining characteristic is its steady vertical cadence: repeated straight stems and tall, rounded counters create a strong sense of rhythm in text. Round characters stay narrow and tall, and straight-sided forms (like H, N, and M) reinforce a structured, architectural feel across both cases and figures.
