A highly condensed sans with tall proportions and a compact set width. Strokes are mostly uniform with subtle modulation, and terminals are clean with softly rounded corners that give the forms a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle feel rather than geometric circles. Counters are tight but clearly defined, and curves (C, G, S, O) read as narrow, vertical ovals with controlled, consistent shaping. The overall rhythm is vertical and even, with sturdy stems and minimal detailing in joins and shoulders.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where horizontal space is limited and a strong vertical presence is desirable. It works well for posters, packaging, brand wordmarks, and signage that benefits from a condensed, high-impact sans. In longer passages it can function for short blurbs or captions when set with generous leading and tracking.
The font conveys a modern, assertive tone with a streamlined, space-efficient presence. Its tall, narrow silhouette and sturdy strokes feel practical and attention-getting, suggesting contemporary editorial and signage sensibilities rather than casual or decorative lettering.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and legibility in a narrow footprint, pairing sturdy strokes with rounded-rectangle geometry for a contemporary, engineered feel. It aims to stay neutral and efficient while still offering a distinctive, tightly controlled silhouette that stands out in large sizes.
The figure set appears compact and monolinear, matching the uppercase’s tall stance; several numerals show slightly squared, rounded-corner construction consistent with the rest of the design. Lowercase forms keep a straightforward, no-nonsense structure, prioritizing clarity at condensed widths and maintaining a consistent vertical cadence across mixed-case text.
