The design is a condensed sans with clean, low-contrast strokes and mostly rounded, smooth curves paired with straightforward straight-sided structures. Proportions are tall and compact with tight interior spaces in letters like a, e, and s, and a generally even, consistent stroke texture across the alphabet. Curves in C, O, and Q are tidy and controlled, while terminals appear plain and unembellished, supporting a simple, utilitarian silhouette.
Well suited to dense settings where horizontal space is at a premium, such as editorial layouts, captions, sidebars, directories, forms, and UI tables. It also works for straightforward branding or packaging that benefits from a compact, modern sans voice, especially in short-to-medium text blocks.
This typeface feels crisp, economical, and quietly modern, with a slightly condensed “newspaper” or editorial voice. Its straightforward, no-nonsense tone reads as practical and informative rather than expressive or decorative. The narrow rhythm also adds a subtle sense of urgency and efficiency.
The letterforms appear designed to pack information into limited horizontal space while maintaining legibility in continuous text. Its restrained detailing and consistent stroke behavior suggest an intention toward a neutral, dependable reading experience rather than display personality.
The numerals follow the same condensed, upright rhythm as the letters, helping maintain consistent color in mixed alphanumeric text. Uppercase shapes remain simple and direct, and lowercase forms keep a compact texture that favors tight leading and narrow columns.
