A condensed, monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and a consistent stroke weight throughout. The design leans on tall proportions, open counters, and simple geometric construction, with slight rounding at corners that keeps the texture friendly rather than stark. Letterforms stay straightforward and restrained, creating an even rhythm in text while retaining clear differentiation across similar shapes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and compact settings where horizontal space is limited, such as posters, packaging panels, UI labels, and navigation or wayfinding elements. It can also serve as a distinctive secondary text face for short passages where a clean, narrow texture is desired.
The overall tone feels contemporary and efficient, pairing a utilitarian clarity with a gentle softness from the rounded endings. Its narrow, tall stance suggests a space-saving, editorial sensibility, while the smooth curves keep it approachable and calm rather than severe.
The design appears intended to provide a space-efficient sans with a modern, neutral voice, combining strict linear construction with rounded finishing to improve approachability and visual smoothness at larger sizes.
The condensed proportions create a vertical cadence that reads particularly well in lines of display-sized text. Numerals match the same slim, linear logic, supporting a consistent typographic color when mixing letters and figures.
