A condensed, geometric sans with consistent stroke weight and clean, open counters. Curves are built from near-circular arcs (notably in C, O, and Q), contrasted with straight, vertical stems that keep the texture tight and tall. Terminals are crisp and mostly blunt, with simple joins and restrained apertures; the overall rhythm is narrow and vertical, producing an efficient, space-saving silhouette in text. Numerals follow the same streamlined construction, with a rounded 0 and lightly curved, minimal forms elsewhere.
It works best for headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where a condensed footprint and clean geometry are advantages. The tight width makes it useful for signage or labels with limited space, while its even stroke and uncluttered forms help maintain clarity in short to medium text settings.
The font reads as modern and understated, with a slightly retro, display-friendly flavor created by its tall proportions and simplified geometry. Its narrow build and even color lend an organized, architectural tone that feels precise rather than expressive.
The design appears intended to provide a compact, contemporary sans with geometric roundness and a consistent, controlled texture. Its proportions prioritize economy of space and a sleek, modern presence suitable for display typography.
Round letters (O/Q) feel especially circular and prominent against the condensed verticals, creating a distinctive mix of compact width and generous round forms. The lowercase shows a simple single-storey structure and small, neat punctuation dots, reinforcing the minimalist, no-frills voice.
