A tall, condensed sans with pronounced stroke contrast: vertical stems are heavy while horizontals and joins drop to hairline-like thickness. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular, with rounded corners and a consistent, monoline-like curvature in bowls that contrasts with the strong verticals. Many joins show subtle notches and pinch points that read like ink-trap behavior, helping keep tight interiors open at display sizes. Terminals are generally flat and squared-off, producing a clean, architectural silhouette and a tightly packed horizontal rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed proportions and sharp contrast can create impact—headlines, magazine mastheads, posters, and brand marks. It can work for short subheads or labels when set with comfortable tracking, but its dense rhythm and fine horizontals make it less ideal for extended small-size reading.
The overall tone is bold and editorial—confident, slightly retro, and engineered rather than friendly. Its stark vertical emphasis and sharp internal cut-ins give it a high-impact, poster-like voice that feels at home in fashion, nightlife, or sports branding contexts. Despite the contrast, the forms remain clean and contemporary, leaning more modernist than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact voice: maximizing presence in narrow widths while using contrast and internal notches to preserve clarity in tight counters. It aims for a contemporary editorial aesthetic with a hint of vintage poster condensation, balancing strict geometry with subtle optical refinements at joins.
Uppercase forms present strong, uniform widths and straight-sided geometry, while lowercase introduces a more texty feel with two-storey shapes and compact apertures. Numerals mirror the condensed stance with sturdy verticals and thin cross-strokes, matching the headline-driven personality of the alphabet. Spacing appears naturally tight, reinforcing a dense, columnar texture in running lines.
