A tall, tightly set sans with slim, mostly monoline strokes and a compact overall footprint. Curves are smooth and slightly squarish in places, with open counters and restrained rounding that keeps forms clear at small sizes. Terminals appear clean and largely unembellished, and the rhythm is vertical-forward, with narrow bowls and condensed apertures that maintain legibility in a compressed width. Numerals follow the same lean construction, reading straightforward and consistent alongside the letters.
Well-suited to space-conscious headlines, subheads, and short paragraphs where a compact width helps fit more text per line. It should work effectively in posters and packaging that need a tall, clean voice, as well as informational signage where straightforward shapes and consistent rhythm support quick reading.
The tone is practical and modern, with a clean, no-nonsense voice that feels efficient rather than decorative. Its condensed proportions give it an editorial and informational flavor, suggesting clarity and economy of space. Overall it reads friendly-neutral: approachable enough for everyday messaging while still crisp and structured.
The design appears intended to deliver a clear, contemporary sans optimized for narrow settings, balancing compact proportions with open counters for readability. It prioritizes efficient typography and a steady texture over expressive detailing.
The sample text shows even color in paragraphs, with the narrow letterforms producing a dense texture while keeping counters sufficiently open to avoid clogging. Curved letters (like C/O/S) stay smooth and controlled, and straight-sided forms reinforce the font’s vertical emphasis.
