A tall, tightly condensed sans with strong vertical emphasis and compact sidebearings. Strokes are robust with subtly modulated contrast and mostly squared terminals, while curves are rounded and slightly squared-off, giving bowls and counters a soft-rectangular, superellipse feel. Uppercase forms are narrow and high, with compressed rounds (C, O, Q) and a streamlined, poster-like rhythm; lowercase shows simplified, sturdy construction with short ascenders/descenders relative to the overall narrow set. Numerals are similarly condensed, with clear, dark silhouettes that hold together in dense settings.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, mastheads, posters, and other short-to-medium display text where a compact footprint is needed. It can also work well for packaging and signage that benefits from high visual density and strong vertical rhythm.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a vintage display flavor that recalls signage, newspaper heads, and industrial labeling. Its condensed proportions create a sense of urgency and efficiency, while the rounded-rectangle curves keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and economy of space, delivering a dark, condensed voice for display typography while maintaining clear, consistent shapes through rounded-rectangle curves and sturdy, simplified construction.
In the sample text, the tight width and heavy color create strong line-level impact, especially in title case and all-caps. The small internal counters in letters like a, e, and s suggest it will look most confident at headline sizes where the dense texture reads as intentional.
