A tall, tightly set sans with consistently even stroke weight and a pronounced vertical emphasis. Curves and bowls are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing softened corners and narrow, elongated counters. The capitals are slim and straight-sided with compact crossbars, while the lowercase keeps simple, utilitarian constructions with single-storey forms where expected and minimal modulation. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright rhythm, with clean terminals and condensed proportions that keep figures aligned and efficient.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and identity work where vertical economy and a strong condensed presence are desirable. It can also work for packaging and interface labels where space is limited and a clean, modern tone is needed, while longer text will benefit from generous leading and careful tracking.
The overall tone is contemporary and no-nonsense, with a sleek, engineered feel. Its narrow, high-rise silhouettes suggest efficiency and structure, leaning toward a metropolitan, editorial voice rather than a warm or calligraphic one.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, modern sans voice with a geometric, rounded-rectangle construction. It prioritizes consistent rhythm and a crisp, contemporary silhouette for display and tight layouts.
The condensed rhythm is very consistent across the alphabet, and the rounded-rectangle shaping gives letters like C, D, O, Q, and U a distinctive superelliptical softness without becoming playful. The font maintains clarity through open apertures and restrained detailing, though the extreme narrowness can make dense paragraphs feel more compressed than typical sans settings.
