A tall, tightly set sans with narrow proportions and a consistent stroke weight throughout. Curves are drawn with smooth, oval logic and minimal modulation, while joins stay clean and unembellished. Counters are compact and vertical stress is emphasized, giving letters a stretched profile; terminals are mostly straight or gently rounded. Overall spacing feels economical, and the alphabet maintains a steady rhythm even where widths vary by character.
Best suited to display settings where space is limited and a strong vertical presence is desirable—headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and wayfinding-style text. It can also work for short UI or editorial callouts where tight columns and clear, clean shapes are preferred over a more open, text-optimized feel.
The tone is restrained and practical, with a contemporary, matter-of-fact voice. Its condensed stance reads efficient and slightly authoritative rather than friendly, making it feel suited to information-forward typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, space-saving sans with a clean, contemporary construction and consistent stroke behavior. Its proportions prioritize vertical emphasis and efficient line length, aiming for clarity and impact in condensed layouts.
In the samples, the tall ascenders and compact lowercase forms create a strong vertical texture, while punctuation and numerals match the same linear construction. The condensed geometry makes individual word shapes distinctive, especially in headlines and short phrases.
