A highly condensed, monoline sans with extreme vertical proportions and rounded-rectangle construction in bowls and counters. Strokes stay consistently thin with minimal modulation, and terminals tend to be clean and clipped, giving many letters a narrow, slot-like silhouette. Curves are restrained and squared-off into soft corners, producing superellipse-like rounds in O/C/G forms and compact joints in B/R/S. The overall rhythm is tight and columnar, with tall ascenders/descenders and a distinctly vertical texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed silhouette can create impact: headlines, poster typography, magazine mastheads, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for packaging and labels where vertical economy is useful, especially in short lines or tightly set compositions.
The tone is sleek and engineered, leaning toward a fashion/editorial sensibility with a hint of retro-futurism. Its compressed letterforms feel cool and deliberate, projecting efficiency and precision rather than warmth or friendliness. The tall, wiry texture creates a dramatic, high-strung energy that reads as contemporary and design-forward.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum height and presence in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangular geometry and even stroke weight to maintain a crisp, contemporary look. Its consistent, linear construction suggests a focus on graphic clarity and a distinctive vertical texture for display-driven typography.
In continuous text the narrow apertures and compressed counters create a strong vertical striping, so spacing and size choice will be important for readability. The numerals match the same tall, streamlined logic, keeping the set visually consistent for dates and short numeric strings.
