A condensed sans with pronounced stroke modulation and a tall, vertical stance. Curves are tightly drawn with relatively small counters and mostly closed apertures, giving letters like C, S, and a compact, tense rhythm. Terminals are clean and squared-off, while rounded forms (O, Q, 0) stay narrow and vertically oriented. The lowercase is compact with short ascenders/descenders and a single-storey a, reinforcing a streamlined, economical texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and display settings where a compact width and strong contrast help create impact without taking much horizontal space. It also works well for magazine-style editorial layouts, branding systems that need a tall, modern voice, and packaging or signage that benefits from high visual density.
The overall tone is controlled and assertive—sleek rather than friendly. Its condensed proportions and crisp shaping suggest a contemporary, slightly industrial sensibility with an editorial edge.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal width, pairing a condensed skeleton with contrast to keep forms sharp and recognizable. Its consistent verticality and clean terminals suggest an intention toward contemporary display typography that reads as structured and premium.
The design maintains consistent vertical emphasis across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing a tight typographic color. Numerals share the same condensed build and contrast-driven detail, matching well with uppercase for headlines and pull quotes.
