A slender, condensed sans with consistently thin strokes and a linear, almost single-weight construction. Proportions are tall with compact widths, producing a vertical rhythm and tight letterfit. Curves are smooth and controlled with rounded bowls and clean joins, while terminals appear simple and unembellished. Counters stay fairly open for the width, and the lowercase shows a notably tall x-height that keeps words readable in compact settings. Numerals and capitals follow the same restrained geometry, giving the set a cohesive, orderly texture.
Works well where horizontal space is limited and a crisp, contemporary look is desired, such as UI labels, navigation, captions, and compact headings. It also suits posters and signage that benefit from tall, space-saving letterforms, and branding or packaging systems aiming for a clean, minimal typographic voice.
The overall tone is modern and quietly functional, with a tidy, engineered feel. Its narrow stance and fine strokes suggest precision and efficiency rather than warmth or playfulness, making it read as contemporary and understated.
The design appears intended to provide a space-efficient, contemporary sans that stays legible through tall proportions and open shapes while maintaining a restrained, minimalist personality.
The condensed structure creates strong vertical emphasis and can make tracking feel tight at larger sizes, while the open counters help maintain clarity. The design relies on proportion and spacing rather than contrast or decorative details to establish character.
