A tall, condensed sans with uniform stroke weight and a crisp, linear construction. Curves are clean and economical, with round letters drawn as narrow ovals and straight stems kept vertical and steady. Terminals are mostly blunt and unembellished, producing a tidy, engineered rhythm; joins and diagonals (notably in M, N, V, W, X) read sharp and angular. Lowercase forms stay compact with small counters and minimal modulation, and numerals follow the same narrow, upright logic for consistent texture in running text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and signage where vertical emphasis and space-saving width are useful. It can also work for UI headings, navigation, and packaging/label typography when a clean, compact voice is desired; for longer text, giving it generous size and tracking helps maintain clarity.
The overall tone feels modern and pragmatic, with an understated, no-nonsense voice. Its narrow proportions and simple geometry suggest an architectural, space-efficient aesthetic that reads precise rather than expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, modern sans for space-constrained layouts while keeping a calm, consistent texture. Its restrained detailing and disciplined geometry prioritize clarity and efficiency over stylistic flourish.
Because of the condensed set and tight internal spaces, the face creates a strong vertical cadence and a light, open gray in paragraphs. The narrow bowls and compact apertures can make dense settings feel busy, but the consistent stroke and clear silhouettes help maintain legibility at display and subhead sizes.
