A condensed sans with tall, compact proportions and an even, steady stroke weight. Curves are smooth and relatively closed, with rounded counters that stay tight in the narrow width, while terminals are predominantly straight and cleanly cut. The lowercase shows simple, single‑storey forms where expected (notably the a and g), with short ascenders/descenders that keep the overall texture dense. Numerals follow the same tall rhythm, reading clearly in a narrow footprint.
Works well for headlines and short blocks where horizontal space is limited and a strong, compact presence is needed. It can suit posters, packaging, labels, and wayfinding-style signage where quick recognition and tight setting are priorities, and it can also serve as a secondary sans for dense typographic hierarchies.
The overall tone is direct and no‑nonsense, with a compact, urban feel. Its narrow stance and solid color give it an assertive voice suited to space-conscious settings, while the restrained shapes keep it neutral rather than decorative.
Designed to deliver a space-saving sans that maintains clarity and uniformity at display and subhead sizes. The consistent stroke and straightforward construction suggest an emphasis on efficiency, legibility, and a controlled, modern texture rather than stylistic flair.
The font’s narrow width creates a tight typographic color and strong vertical emphasis, making line lengths feel efficient and stacked. Round letters (like O and Q) stay vertically oriented and oval rather than wide, reinforcing the condensed rhythm across text.
