A condensed, tall typeface with sturdy verticals and neatly controlled curves. Round characters are drawn with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) geometry, giving counters a squared-off softness rather than perfect circles. Stroke endings are clean and mostly flat, and the overall rhythm is even and compact, with small apertures and tight internal spaces that reinforce a dense, emphatic color on the line. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright stance, with clear differentiation and a consistent, straightforward construction.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, and condensed display settings where space is limited but impact is needed. It can work effectively in editorial layouts, book or magazine titling, branding wordmarks, and straightforward signage that benefits from a compact, upright voice.
The tone reads confident and disciplined, balancing a modern, streamlined geometry with a slightly old-style, print-forward presence. Its compactness and dark texture lend it an assertive, no-nonsense voice that feels suited to official or editorial settings rather than casual messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, high-impact text color with a distinctive superelliptical roundness, combining geometric discipline with a slightly classic, print-oriented seriousness.
In text, the narrow proportions create a strong vertical cadence and conserve horizontal space, while the softened rectangular curves keep the shapes from feeling mechanical. The consistent heft and compact counters suggest it performs best when given adequate size and breathing room in layout.
