A tall, tightly set sans with compact letterforms and a strongly vertical rhythm. Strokes read as largely monoline with minimal contrast, and curves are built from smooth, controlled arcs rather than geometric perfect circles. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend to be narrow, reinforcing the condensed texture in words. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with occasional subtle rounding on curves; overall spacing and proportions feel engineered for economy and consistency across the set.
Well suited to space-saving headlines and subheads where a compact footprint is valuable, such as posters, packaging, labels, and UI headings. It can also work for brand wordmarks or short editorial callouts that benefit from a tall, compressed look.
The tone is straightforward and contemporary, with an efficient, no-nonsense presence. Its compressed silhouette gives it an assertive, headline-like energy while still feeling neutral and professional rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a practical condensed sans for modern layouts, prioritizing vertical clarity and an even, economical texture. It aims to stay stylistically neutral while providing a distinctive narrow voice for display and emphasis.
In the sample text, the condensed width creates a dense typographic color that stays even across mixed case and numerals. The simplified forms and tight apertures suggest it will hold up best when given enough size or tracking to keep interior spaces from closing in.
