A tall, tightly set sans with strongly condensed proportions and a monoline, low‑contrast stroke. Curves are smooth and rounded while terminals read mostly straight and crisp, creating a clean, engineered rhythm. Counters are compact and vertical stress dominates, giving letters a stacked, columnar feel; circular forms like O and 0 appear narrow and ovalized. Lowercase shows a simple, functional construction with single-storey a and g, and punctuation and figures follow the same slim, upright geometry for a consistent texture in text.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and signage where tight width and vertical emphasis help maximize content in constrained layouts. It can also work for packaging, wayfinding, and UI labels where a clean, condensed sans is needed, with best results at display and medium sizes.
The overall tone is modern and utilitarian, with a slightly industrial, signage-like directness. Its condensed stance feels efficient and space-conscious, projecting clarity and control rather than warmth or ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver a straightforward, space-saving sans that remains clean and consistent across letters and numerals. Its condensed proportions and controlled geometry suggest a focus on efficient layout, modern branding, and clear display typography.
The narrow widths create strong vertical emphasis and allow long headlines to fit into limited horizontal space. In continuous text the compact apertures and tight counters produce a darker, more compressed color, especially at larger sizes where the tall shapes become a defining stylistic cue.
