A tightly condensed sans with tall proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are predominantly straight and monolinear in impression, but with noticeably rounded corners and superelliptic, rounded-rectangle bowls that keep curves controlled rather than circular. Counters are narrow and vertically oriented, terminals are clean and mostly flat, and joins stay crisp, producing a sharp, architectural texture. The overall fit is compact, with consistent, column-like widths that emphasize height and create an even, disciplined color in words.
Best suited for headlines, display copy, and short bursts of text where its condensed width and strong vertical presence can shine. It works well for branding systems that need a distinctive, space-saving wordmark, as well as packaging and editorial mastheads where a tall, rhythmic texture adds impact.
The typeface reads as sleek and assertive, with a streamlined, retro-leaning sophistication. Its narrow, towering forms and rounded-rectangle curves evoke a controlled, metropolitan tone—stylish and slightly theatrical without becoming decorative. The voice is confident and attention-forward, suited to statements rather than background text.
The design appears intended to maximize presence in a narrow footprint while maintaining a clean sans structure. By pairing condensed proportions with superelliptic curves and crisp terminals, it aims for a modern display voice with a subtle retro, architectural flavor.
Round letters (like O/Q and related bowls) are drawn as tall rounded rectangles, reinforcing a modular, engineered look. The numerals echo the same condensed, vertical logic, helping mixed text maintain a uniform, poster-like cadence.
