A compact, vertically oriented sans with tall lowercase proportions and tightly drawn apertures. Strokes stay even and firm throughout, with rounded-rectangle (superelliptical) curves that keep bowls and counters smooth while preserving a squared-off, structured feel. Terminals are mostly straight and clean, spacing is tight, and the overall rhythm reads quick and economical. Figures and capitals follow the same narrow, upright construction for a consistent, column-friendly texture.
Best suited to headlines and subheads where space is limited but impact is needed, such as posters, packaging fronts, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation where a compact footprint is advantageous, though longer text will produce a dense, forceful texture.
The tone is modern and no-nonsense, with an urban editorial energy. Its tight stance and sturdy forms feel confident and utilitarian, leaning more toward information delivery than warmth or ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver strong presence in tight horizontal space, pairing condensed proportions with rounded-rectangular geometry for a contemporary, highly legible display voice.
Curves avoid perfect circles, favoring squarer rounds that help keep shapes stable in narrow widths. The dense set width creates a strong vertical emphasis and a punchy, high-impact word silhouette.
