A compact sans with largely uniform stroke weight and a restrained, low-contrast construction. Curves are smooth and close to circular in letters like C, O, and Q, while verticals stay straight and steady, giving a tidy, engineered rhythm. Proportions read on the condensed side, with narrow bowls and counters; several forms lean toward closed apertures, contributing to a dense, consistent texture in text. Terminals are clean and unembellished, and the overall letterfit appears fairly tight for a controlled, space-saving feel.
Its compact footprint suits interfaces, navigation, and other space-constrained settings such as tables, dashboards, and form elements. It can also work well for captions and short blocks of copy where a controlled, uniform texture is preferred.
The tone is straightforward and contemporary, prioritizing clarity and efficiency over personality. It feels businesslike and practical, with a calm neutrality that stays out of the way of the content.
The design appears intended as a neutral workhorse sans that conserves horizontal space while keeping shapes simple and consistent. Its even stroke behavior and compact proportions suggest a focus on functional typography for everyday digital and editorial applications.
In the sample text, the compact widths and tight internal spaces create a darker text color at larger sizes, especially in rounded letters and stacked verticals. Numerals match the letterforms’ compact stance and maintain the same no-nonsense construction, supporting a cohesive typographic voice across mixed content.
