This typeface is built on tall, compressed proportions with a tight overall footprint and clear vertical emphasis. Strokes are clean and largely monolinear at first glance, with subtle contrast showing up most in curved joins and terminals. Curves read as rounded-rectangle/superellipse forms, giving bowls and counters a softly squared, controlled geometry rather than purely circular shapes. Terminals are mostly straight and crisp, with sparing, small finishing details in a few lowercase forms; spacing appears even, producing a steady, disciplined rhythm in text.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text settings where space efficiency and a strong vertical presence are desired—headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and poster typography. It can also work well in branding and packaging systems that want a modern, refined condensed voice.
The overall tone is cool, editorial, and contemporary—confident without feeling loud. Its condensed stance and controlled curves suggest a fashion and magazine sensibility, balancing precision with a slight softness in the rounded shapes.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, high-impact condensed style with controlled, superelliptical curves for a contemporary, polished look. It prioritizes a consistent vertical rhythm and clean silhouettes that remain legible while adding a distinctive, sleek personality.
Capitals are especially narrow and tall, with open counters that help keep the texture from getting too dark for a condensed design. Numerals follow the same slim, high-waisted silhouette, aligning well with the letterforms for tight typographic settings.
