A compact, vertically oriented sans with strong, even strokes and tight proportions. The design favors tall, narrow letterforms, small apertures, and streamlined curves, producing a dense, economical texture in text. Bowls and counters are relatively small and simplified, while terminals are clean and straightforward, keeping the overall silhouette crisp. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent narrow rhythm, and the figures follow the same compressed, sturdy construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where horizontal space is limited and a strong, condensed voice is desired. It can work for branding elements and short UI labels, especially when you want a compact footprint and clear, forceful emphasis.
The tone is no-nonsense and contemporary, with an assertive, space-saving presence that reads as practical and urban. Its compressed stance and uniform stroke energy lend it an industrial, headline-forward voice rather than a casual or delicate one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal width, providing a straightforward condensed sans for display settings where economy of space and visual punch matter most.
In longer lines the narrow fit creates a strong vertical cadence and a dark, compact color, which can make spacing and word shapes feel tightly packed. The simplified inner shapes and narrow apertures emphasize impact and density over openness.
