This typeface is an extremely tall, condensed sans with consistently thin, linear strokes and restrained contrast. Curves are smooth and controlled, with rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) shaping in bowls and counters, giving letters like O, C, and e a soft-rectangular feel rather than a perfect circle. Terminals are mostly blunt and straightforward; joins stay crisp, and spacing is compact, producing a tight vertical rhythm. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a narrow, straight-sided n/m structure, and a long, simple descender set, while numerals follow the same slim, vertical proportions with clean, open forms.
It works best where space is limited and a tall, condensed headline look is desired—posters, titles, packaging, signage, and short UI labels. The thin strokes and tight width also suit editorial pull quotes or subheads where a clean, contemporary texture is preferred over a heavier, more dominant display style.
The overall tone is sleek and matter-of-fact, emphasizing economy of space and a quiet, contemporary precision. Its narrow stance and delicate stroke weight create an understated, minimalist voice that reads as modern and slightly technical rather than expressive or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, contemporary sans voice with a distinctly vertical silhouette and rounded-rectangle geometry. It prioritizes a consistent, systematic construction across the character set to create a clean, efficient typographic color in display and short-text settings.
Round letters maintain fairly even side bearings despite the condensed width, and the tall cap/lowercase proportions reinforce a strong vertical emphasis. The family of shapes stays highly consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, which helps the font feel systematic and orderly in longer text lines.
