A condensed sans with heavy strokes and a predominantly monoline feel, built from simple geometric curves and straight verticals. The design emphasizes verticality: caps are tall and compact, bowls are rounded but controlled, and counters stay relatively tight at display sizes. Terminals are clean and mostly straight, with minimal flare, producing a crisp silhouette. The lowercase shows a large x-height and short extenders, creating a dense, efficient rhythm, while numerals are sturdy and uniform in color.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of copy where a compact footprint and strong presence are desirable. It works well for posters, branding wordmarks, packaging panels, and signage where dense information needs to remain bold and legible. In extended text, it will benefit from generous spacing and comfortable line-height to offset the heavy, condensed texture.
The overall tone is direct and contemporary, with a compact, assertive voice. Its condensed proportions and strong stroke weight give it a no-nonsense, poster-forward energy that reads as practical and confident rather than playful or delicate.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, pairing a high x-height with condensed proportions for clear, forceful communication. Its restrained geometry and clean terminals suggest an intention toward versatile, contemporary display typography with a straightforward, functional character.
Round letters (like O/C/G) keep a near-elliptical geometry, while angular forms (like A/V/W/X) are sharply constructed, reinforcing a clean, engineered texture. The sample text shows a dark, even typographic color that can feel intense in long passages, especially at tighter leading.
