A highly condensed, monoline sans with tall proportions and consistently restrained stroke modulation. Curves are drawn with smooth, elliptical geometry and rounded joins, while straight strokes stay crisp and vertical, producing an even, quiet texture in text. Counters are relatively open for the width, and spacing feels measured to keep narrow letters from clashing, giving lines a tidy, vertical rhythm.
Well suited to headlines and display settings where vertical emphasis and compact width are advantages, such as posters, branding lockups, and packaging. It can also work for concise editorial elements like subheads, captions, or navigation where a clean condensed voice is desired, especially at moderate-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is modern and understated, with a calm, engineered clarity. Its narrow stance and clean outlines suggest a space-saving, information-forward voice rather than something decorative or expressive, leaning toward contemporary editorial and interface sensibilities.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary condensed sans that conserves horizontal space while staying legible and visually calm. Its consistent line weight and geometric curves prioritize clarity and a neat typographic rhythm for modern layouts.
Round letters (like O/C/G) read as narrow ovals, and the numerals follow the same streamlined construction, maintaining a consistent “tall and slender” silhouette across the set. In sample text, the font produces a light, airy color with strong vertical momentum, making it feel organized and refined at larger sizes.
