A tall, tightly set sans with strongly condensed proportions and a consistent, monoline stroke. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing soft, squared-off bowls and terminals rather than true circular rounds. Vertical stems dominate, with compact counters and a controlled, even rhythm; joins stay simple and unembellished. Figures follow the same narrow, upright logic, and punctuation/dots appear small and neat in relation to the tall letterforms.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and other space-conscious settings where height and economy are assets. It can work well for packaging, wayfinding/signage, UI labels, and editorial pull quotes when a narrow, clean voice is needed, and it benefits from moderate-to-large sizes where its tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone is clean and efficient, with a modernist, information-forward feel. Its narrow stance and restrained detailing read as practical and contemporary, lending a subtle technical or signage-like character without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to maximize character economy while keeping a friendly, engineered smoothness through rounded-rectangle curves. It prioritizes a consistent, system-like construction and a compact footprint for dense, vertical typographic layouts.
Because of the extreme condensation, spacing and aperture size become prominent traits; the face maintains clarity through consistent stroke weight and rounded-corner construction. The sample text shows a steady texture at display sizes, with a sleek vertical emphasis and minimal contrast across the alphabet and numerals.
