A tightly proportioned sans with tall, compact letterforms and a pronounced vertical rhythm. Strokes are sturdy and mostly uniform, with gently rounded joins and softened terminals that keep the heavy shapes from feeling harsh. Counters are relatively small in many letters, and the condensed construction emphasizes straight stems and narrow bowls, producing efficient word shapes and strong texture in blocks of text. The lowercase is straightforward and compact, with a single-storey a and g, short arms, and minimal modulation in curves.
This font performs best in headlines, posters, and display settings where vertical compactness and strong color are advantages. It’s also well-suited to signage, packaging, and branding systems that need a narrow footprint without sacrificing impact.
The overall tone is direct and functional, with a modern, no-nonsense presence. Its condensed stance and dense color give it an assertive, attention-grabbing character suited to tight spaces and high-impact messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, prioritizing clear silhouettes and a consistent, condensed rhythm. Its restrained detailing suggests a practical display sans aimed at modern editorial and promotional typography.
Round letters like O, Q, and 0 are drawn as narrow ovals, reinforcing the vertical emphasis. Numerals follow the same condensed logic and read with strong, poster-like clarity, while maintaining consistent weight and tight internal spacing.
