A condensed sans with softly rounded strokes and a clean, monolinear feel. Letterforms are built from simple verticals and generous curves, with open apertures in characters like C, G, S, and e that keep the texture breathable. Terminals tend to be gently rounded or subtly tapered, and the overall rhythm is even, with compact widths and consistent spacing that reads as tidy rather than rigid.
Well-suited to interface text, labels, and compact headings where horizontal space is limited. It also works for posters, packaging, and editorial pull quotes that benefit from a clean, friendly condensed voice. For long-form reading, it’s likely strongest at larger text sizes where its narrow proportions and open apertures can stay comfortable.
The tone is light and personable, balancing a contemporary simplicity with a slightly playful softness. Its narrow footprint gives it a practical, space-saving voice, while the rounded details keep it from feeling severe or technical.
The design appears intended as a space-efficient sans for modern communication, combining condensed proportions with softened geometry to remain approachable. Its restrained detailing suggests a focus on clarity and versatility, with just enough character to differentiate in branding and short-form text.
Uppercase forms are straightforward and geometric, while lowercase shows a few livelier gestures (notably in g, y, and j) that add character without turning into a display novelty. Numerals follow the same narrow, rounded construction and maintain a clear, uniform color in running text.
