A tightly condensed sans with tall proportions and a compact footprint. Strokes stay mostly even with subtle modulation, while curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry that keeps bowls controlled and slightly squared-off. Terminals are clean and unadorned, counters are relatively open for the width, and the overall rhythm is strongly vertical. The uppercase feels narrow and architectural; the lowercase is similarly compressed with a straightforward, utilitarian construction and clear differentiation in letters like a, g, and q. Numerals follow the same narrow, stacked proportions, reading cleanly in columnar settings.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and compact typographic layouts where you need to fit more characters per line without losing clarity. It also works well for posters, packaging labels, and signage systems that benefit from a strong vertical rhythm and a clean, contemporary presence.
The tone is modern and editorial, with a focused, efficient energy. Its compressed stance and crisp drawing give it a confident, assertive voice suited to information-forward design rather than decorative expression.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, high-impact sans that remains orderly and legible in dense settings. Its controlled, rounded-rectangle forms suggest a goal of combining geometric consistency with a smoother, more approachable silhouette.
In text, the font creates dense, vertical color with consistent spacing, making it effective where horizontal economy matters. The rounded-rect curves soften the severity of the condensed build, balancing strict geometry with a slightly human-friendly smoothness.
