A condensed sans with tall proportions and compact sidebearings, giving lines a tight, economical rhythm. Strokes are largely uniform with subtle rounding at curves and terminals, producing clean silhouettes without noticeable modulation. Counters are small but open enough to hold up at text sizes, and round letters read as slightly oval to suit the narrow set. Overall spacing feels disciplined and consistent, with punctuation and numerals matching the same slim, upright construction.
Best suited to headlines and subheads where space is limited and a tall, compact voice is needed. It also works well for captions, UI labels, and packaging or signage that benefits from high information density without resorting to extreme stylization. In posters and editorial layouts, it can create a strong vertical cadence and a modern, compressed typographic texture.
The tone is contemporary and no-nonsense, leaning toward an editorial, utilitarian feel rather than playful or decorative. Its narrow build suggests urgency and efficiency, while the smooth curves keep it approachable and readable. The overall impression is neat, metropolitan, and quietly confident.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, modern sans voice with consistent stroke weight and clear, compact letterforms. Its proportions prioritize density and impact while maintaining a neutral, readable structure for short text and display applications.
In the sample text, the condensed width increases words-per-line and creates a strong vertical texture, especially in mixed-case settings. Capital forms feel tall and commanding, while lowercase maintains a steady baseline and a straightforward, uncluttered structure. Numerals share the same condensed geometry, supporting uniform color in text and data-like settings.
