A highly condensed, vertical typeface with tall proportions and a taut rhythm. Strokes are clean and mostly even, with subtle contrast showing up in curved joins and bowls. Curves tend toward rounded-rectangle geometry, giving counters a slightly squared, superelliptical feel rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are crisp and unornamented, and the lowercase shows compact bowls with straight-sided stems and long ascenders/descenders, producing a tight, columnar texture.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, magazine mastheads, poster typography, and brand wordmarks where condensed width helps fit long titles and creates a distinctive vertical cadence. It can also work for packaging and short pull quotes, especially when generous tracking is available to manage density at larger sizes.
The overall tone is sleek and fashion-forward, with an editorial sophistication that reads as contemporary with a hint of vintage display styling. Its narrow stance and tall caps suggest posters, mastheads, and cinematic titling where height and tension are desirable.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, combining a disciplined, modern construction with softened superelliptical curves for a refined, contemporary display voice.
In the samples, the condensed width and tall cap height create strong vertical emphasis and noticeable word-shape silhouettes. Round letters like O/Q stay narrow and upright, while the numeral set follows the same condensed, high-contrast-in-curves logic for a cohesive headline palette.
