A compact sans with tall proportions and tight letterfit, combining straight-sided stems with softly rounded corners and simple geometric bowls. Strokes are largely uniform, giving the design a monoline, low-contrast texture; curves are clean and controlled rather than calligraphic. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, with minimal modulation, and the overall rhythm reads orderly and vertical. Numerals and punctuation follow the same condensed, linear construction for a consistent tone in text and display settings.
Works well for headlines, subheads, and space-constrained layouts where you need to fit more characters per line without resorting to extreme styling. It’s also a good match for signage, packaging labels, and UI elements that benefit from a compact, consistent sans with a clear vertical rhythm.
The font feels modern and functional, with a no-nonsense, engineered clarity that suggests efficiency and precision. Its narrow, upright stance creates an assertive, space-saving voice suited to information-forward communication rather than expressive ornament.
The design appears intended as a practical condensed sans that prioritizes efficient use of horizontal space and consistent, even color. Its simplified geometry and restrained detailing suggest a focus on clarity and versatility across editorial and informational contexts.
Round letters (like O/C/G) stay fairly elliptical and compact, while diagonals (A/V/W/X) are sharp and economical, reinforcing the streamlined silhouette. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, uncluttered construction that helps preserve legibility despite the tight width.
