A tall, condensed sans with consistent stroke weight and softly rounded terminals. Curves are built from clean, near-geometric arcs, while straight strokes stay simple and unmodulated, giving an even rhythm across text. Counters are generally open and compact, and proportions favor height over width, creating a neat, vertical texture in both caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same narrow, rounded construction, maintaining a uniform color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
Well-suited to space-conscious applications such as UI labels, navigation, and product interfaces where a compact width is beneficial. It also works effectively for headlines, posters, and packaging where a tall, clean word shape can create a modern, airy presence. For signage and wayfinding, the narrow forms help fit longer words into constrained layouts while keeping a consistent, orderly texture.
The overall tone is light and approachable, with a quiet modernity that feels uncluttered and straightforward. Its narrow stance and rounded finishing soften the look, keeping it friendly rather than strict or technical. In paragraphs it reads as calm and understated, with a slightly playful freshness in the narrow, tall forms.
The design appears intended to deliver a streamlined, contemporary sans that saves horizontal space while staying approachable through rounded geometry and even stroke color. It prioritizes simplicity and visual consistency, aiming for a clean typographic voice that can move between interface text and display settings without feeling ornamental.
The condensed width produces a tight horizontal footprint while preserving clear interior spaces, which helps maintain legibility at display and short-text sizes. Round letters (like O/C) keep smooth, continuous curves, and straight-sided forms retain a simple, utilitarian geometry, reinforcing a clean, contemporary voice.
