A tall, tightly set sans with consistently slim strokes and a distinctly condensed footprint. Curves are drawn with smooth, rounded-rectangle logic rather than pure circles, giving bowls and counters an orderly, controlled feel. Terminals are clean and straightforward, and the overall rhythm is vertical and even, with narrow apertures and compact internal space that keep words looking sleek and efficient at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and display settings where space is limited and a modern, condensed look is desired. It can work well for branding and packaging that aims for a clean, contemporary tone, and for editorial layouts where tall letterforms create strong vertical emphasis.
The tone is cool and contemporary, with a disciplined, no-nonsense voice. Its compressed proportions and tidy curves suggest modern editorial styling and a slightly technical, design-forward sensibility rather than warmth or playfulness.
The design appears aimed at delivering a space-saving, high-impact sans with controlled, rounded geometry. Its narrow build and consistent stroke behavior prioritize a sleek silhouette and a crisp typographic color for modern layouts.
In the samples, the condensed structure creates strong texture and economical line length, while the rounded-rectangular curves help keep the forms from feeling overly rigid. The numerals and caps maintain the same slim, upright cadence, reinforcing a cohesive, streamlined appearance across mixed content.
