A compact, vertically oriented sans with clear, slightly tapered stroke endings and modest contrast. Forms are mostly round and open, with smooth curves in C/O/Q and a straightforward, geometric feel in many capitals. Proportions are narrow with tall ascenders and a notably short x-height, giving lowercase a smaller footprint relative to capitals. Terminals tend to be clean and sharp rather than rounded, and the overall rhythm feels tidy and controlled in text.
Well suited to editorial settings where a compact, high-efficiency texture is helpful, such as magazine layouts, headings, and pull quotes. The narrow proportions can also work effectively for book covers, posters, and packaging where vertical economy and a crisp, composed tone are desired.
The font conveys a crisp, editorial tone—measured and serious without feeling austere. Its narrow stance and clean detailing suggest a practical, information-forward voice with a subtle bookish refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, readable sans for display-to-text crossover use, combining narrow proportions with clean curves and controlled stroke modulation. It prioritizes a disciplined page color and a refined, editorial presence over overt personality.
Capitals read as streamlined and evenly built, while lowercase shows compact bowls and tight internal space that reinforce the condensed color on the page. Numerals appear clear and traditional in construction, matching the texty, structured rhythm of the alphabet.
