A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals throughout. Forms rely on simple geometry—narrow bowls, compact counters, and consistent curve tension—creating a clean vertical rhythm. Uppercase letters are slim and open, with rounded corners and occasional straight-sided curves (notably in C/G/S-like shapes), while the lowercase stays similarly narrow with modest ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow the same restrained, streamlined construction, keeping widths tight and curves smooth for a cohesive, lightweight texture.
Best suited to short-to-medium text at larger sizes where its condensed build can save horizontal space without feeling cramped. It works well for headlines, posters, product packaging, and signage, and can also serve UI labels or navigation where a clean, friendly condensed style is desired. For long passages, its narrow counters suggest using comfortable sizes and generous line spacing.
The overall tone is light, approachable, and slightly retro, like mid-century display lettering refined into a modern, minimal system. Its narrow proportions and rounded ends keep it friendly rather than rigid, lending a calm, tidy voice that still feels distinctive.
The design intent appears to be a space-efficient, modern sans with softened edges—balancing a minimalist, engineered structure with rounded terminals to keep the texture welcoming. It aims for clear, consistent rhythm across a full basic set of letters and figures while maintaining a distinctive tall silhouette.
Spacing appears designed to preserve readability despite the condensed widths, with clear differentiation between similar shapes (e.g., I/l/1 and O/0) through tailored forms rather than added ornament. The consistent stroke weight and rounded finishing give text a uniform “wireframe” feel that stays steady across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
