A condensed, monoline sans with tightly controlled proportions and a strong vertical emphasis. Strokes stay even with minimal modulation, while curves are clean and slightly squared-off in places, giving round letters a disciplined, engineered feel. Counters are compact but open enough to remain legible, and terminals generally finish flat and direct. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and narrow bowls, producing a dense, efficient texture in continuous text; the numerals follow the same compressed rhythm with simple, straightforward forms.
Well suited to space-constrained typography such as headlines, subheads, posters, and packaging where you need maximum characters per line. It also works for signage and information-dense settings (labels, tables, UI-like readouts) when a tall, compressed voice is desired.
The overall tone is pragmatic and contemporary, leaning toward functional clarity rather than warmth. Its compressed stance and steady stroke weight feel confident and no-nonsense, with a slightly industrial, editorial edge.
The design appears intended to provide an efficient condensed sans for modern layouts, combining compact width with steady, low-contrast strokes to keep text crisp and consistent at display sizes.
In the sample text, the narrow set creates a strong gray value and a consistent vertical rhythm that supports long lines and stacked layouts. Round letters like O/C read as compact ellipses, and the overall spacing appears tuned to keep words tight without collapsing into clutter.
