A tall, tightly set sans with a slim, linear construction and consistent stroke thickness. Curves are smooth and rounded while joins stay clean, giving the design a tidy, controlled rhythm. Proportions favor height over width, with generous counters and open apertures that keep letters readable despite the condensed silhouette. Terminals are straightforward and unembellished, and the overall spacing feels even and measured in running text.
This style suits space-constrained headlines, poster titles, and signage where a compact footprint and clear vertical rhythm are desirable. It can also work well for branding and packaging that wants a clean, modern voice with a slightly retro, condensed look, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is cool and orderly—modern and utilitarian, with a subtle mid‑century or signage-like flavor due to its narrow, high-contrast-in-proportion (not stroke) silhouette. It feels efficient and technical rather than friendly, projecting clarity and restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver a narrow, efficient sans for display and short text—maximizing legibility within a compact width while keeping forms simple, geometric, and consistent.
In the samples, the tall ascenders and compact lowercase create a pronounced vertical cadence, while rounded bowls (e.g., in O/Q) and simple geometric curves keep the texture smooth. Numerals and capitals share the same slim, streamlined logic, supporting a cohesive look across mixed text.
