A condensed sans with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. The letterforms are built from simple, narrow verticals and open curves, producing a clean, economical silhouette with generous interior counters despite the tight width. Rounds like C, O, and Q read as narrow ovals, while verticals dominate the rhythm; joins are smooth and unbracketed, and diagonals (K, V, W, X) stay crisp without adding visual weight. Numerals follow the same spare construction, with tall, slim figures and gently curved bowls where applicable.
Well-suited to space-constrained typography such as UI labels, navigation, tables, and captions where narrow set-width is an advantage. It can also work effectively for concise headlines, posters, and packaging when a clean, modern, condensed look is desired without heavy typographic drama.
The overall tone is restrained and contemporary, with an airy, minimalist feel. Its narrow proportions and calm stroke behavior give it a quiet efficiency—more functional than expressive—while the rounded endings keep it from feeling harsh or technical.
The design appears intended to provide a compact, contemporary sans for efficient information display. By combining narrow proportions with simple, rounded construction, it aims to stay legible and orderly while maintaining a friendly neutrality.
Capitals appear tall and disciplined, and the lowercase maintains compact bodies with noticeably tall ascenders, giving text a vertical, columnar texture. Spacing and shapes emphasize clarity in tight settings, and the open forms help preserve legibility at smaller sizes despite the condensed build.
