A compact, condensed sans with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Curves are built from simple, slightly squared-off rounds, giving letters a clean, sturdy silhouette without sharp joins. Proportions are tall and economical, with tight interior space in narrow letters and generally open counters in rounded forms. The lowercase is straightforward and readable, with simple bowls and minimal modulation, while figures follow the same narrow, vertical rhythm for consistent texture in lines of text.
Well suited to space-conscious headlines, posters, and packaging where a tall, compact sans can fit more characters per line while staying legible. It also works for labels, signage-style callouts, and editorial subheads where a clean, condensed texture is desirable.
The overall tone feels practical and approachable, balancing a no-nonsense industrial neatness with a gentle, retro warmth. Its condensed rhythm reads organized and efficient, while the rounded finishes keep it from feeling harsh or overly technical.
The design appears intended as a straightforward condensed sans that maximizes economy of space while retaining a friendly, rounded finish. Its consistent monoline construction and simplified forms suggest a focus on clarity, uniformity, and reliable everyday usability.
Across the alphabet and numerals, the design maintains a consistent vertical stance and steady stroke behavior, producing an even gray value in paragraphs. The condensed widths emphasize tight spacing and a tall profile, making short words and headlines feel compact and contained.
