A condensed, monoline sans with clean, open counters and a restrained, utilitarian construction. Curves are smooth and fairly circular, while straight strokes stay crisp with little to no modulation, creating an even texture in text. Terminals are mostly plain and squared-off, and proportions are tall and compact, producing a tight horizontal footprint with clear vertical rhythm. Numerals follow the same straightforward logic, with simple forms and consistent stroke endings that read cleanly at display and text sizes.
Well-suited to interfaces, labeling, and wayfinding where a compact width helps fit more characters per line without looking crowded. It also works for headlines, posters, and modern editorial settings that benefit from a tall, economical sans, and for brand systems seeking a clean, contemporary voice across print and screen.
The overall tone is modern and no-nonsense, projecting clarity and efficiency rather than personality or ornament. Its compact stance and even stroke color lend it a practical, slightly technical feel that suits informational settings and contemporary branding.
The design appears aimed at delivering a space-efficient, highly legible sans for contemporary layouts. By pairing condensed proportions with even stroke weight and uncomplicated terminals, it prioritizes clarity, consistency, and a tidy typographic rhythm.
The condensed proportions make words set tightly, emphasizing verticality and giving lines a brisk, organized cadence. Round letters maintain generous interior space despite the narrow width, helping maintain legibility, while the plain terminals keep the texture uniform across mixed-case text and numerals.
