A tall, condensed sans with consistent stroke weight and a predominantly geometric construction. Curves are clean and round, counters stay open, and terminals are mostly straightforward with occasional soft curvature. Proportions are strongly vertical, with uppercase forms reading slim and elegant while lowercase letters keep compact bodies and relatively small interior spaces. The overall rhythm is tight and economical, with distinctive narrow bowls and a crisp, orderly texture in text.
This font is well suited to space-conscious display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a tall, condensed silhouette helps fit more characters per line. It can also work for signage and UI labels when set at larger sizes with added letterspacing for clarity.
The tone is modern and minimal, with a slightly idiosyncratic, retro feel that comes from the extreme vertical proportions and simplified shapes. It feels light on its feet and a bit theatrical in headlines, while remaining restrained enough for informational use when set with generous spacing.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, contemporary sans voice in a highly vertical, condensed form, balancing geometric simplicity with enough character to stand out in display typography.
The numerals follow the same tall, condensed logic, giving figures a uniform, upright presence. In running text, the narrowness and short lowercase presence can make word shapes feel compact, so the design benefits from comfortable tracking and line spacing, especially at smaller sizes.
