A tall, tightly set sans with markedly condensed proportions and low-contrast strokes. Curves are smooth and economical, with rounded bowls on letters like C, O, and e balanced by straight, vertical stems and compact joins. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, and counters stay open despite the narrow width, keeping forms legible in text. Numerals and capitals share the same disciplined, upright construction, producing a consistent, columnar rhythm across lines.
This face is well suited to space-constrained settings such as headlines, subheads, and dense editorial layouts where you want to fit more characters per line without sacrificing clarity. It can also work effectively on posters, packaging, and interface labels when a compact, orderly typographic voice is desired.
The overall tone is restrained and utilitarian, with a slightly industrial, modernist flavor. Its narrow build and crisp outlines give it an efficient, no-nonsense voice that reads as contemporary and editorial rather than expressive or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a practical, condensed sans for high-efficiency composition—prioritizing compact width, straightforward geometry, and consistent, low-contrast drawing for dependable readability and a clean contemporary presence.
The condensed width creates strong vertical emphasis, and the uniform stroke energy makes it feel steady in longer passages. Round letters retain a slightly elliptical feel, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) stay sharp and compact, reinforcing the font’s tight, organized texture.
