A condensed sans with tall proportions and a clean, modern skeleton. Strokes show deliberate contrast: verticals tend to read heavier while horizontals and joins are noticeably lighter, creating a crisp, rhythmic texture. Many curves and terminals are shaped with soft, teardrop-like swelling and occasional notch/ink-trap-like cut-ins, which gives counters a sculpted, slightly eccentric feel. Rounded forms (O, C, G, Q, 0) are smooth and near-geometric, while several lowercase letters use simplified, single-storey constructions and compact bowls that emphasize verticality.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where a narrow footprint and high visual energy are useful, such as posters, branding systems, packaging, and editorial titling. It can also work for UI or signage accents when a distinctive condensed sans is desired, though the pronounced shaping will be more noticeable at smaller sizes.
The overall tone balances modern clarity with a quirky, display-friendly personality. Its sharp contrast and sculpted terminals add a slightly retro, editorial flavor, while the condensed build keeps it feeling efficient and contemporary. The result is confident and lively rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to provide a condensed sans alternative with added character through contrast and sculpted terminals, offering recognizable letterforms that stand out in display settings while retaining a broadly sans, modern structure.
Text samples show strong vertical rhythm and distinctive word shapes, with some letters drawing attention through unusual joins and bulb-like terminals. Numerals appear bold and graphic with tight interiors, supporting a punchy, poster-like presence.
