A compact sans with sturdy, even stroke weight and squared-off terminals. Curves are smooth and restrained, while many letters lean on straight verticals and flat horizontals for a clean, engineered rhythm. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are modest, giving the face a dense, space-efficient texture. Uppercase proportions feel tall and narrow with simple geometry, and the numerals match the same straightforward, no-nonsense construction.
Well-suited to interface text, settings panels, tables, and other space-constrained layouts where compact letterforms help fit more content per line. It also works for labels, wayfinding, and short headings that benefit from a steady, disciplined texture and clear, upright letterforms.
The overall tone is modern and neutral, with a pragmatic, workhorse character. Its compactness and firm shapes suggest efficiency and clarity rather than expressiveness or softness, reading as businesslike and technical.
Likely designed as a practical, general-purpose sans for contemporary layouts, prioritizing compact proportions and consistent rhythm. The restrained shapes and sturdy strokes point to an intention of dependable everyday readability in functional contexts.
The punctuation and spacing in the sample text reinforce a crisp, structured line; the heavy reliance on vertical strokes gives paragraphs a strong, even color. Round letters stay controlled rather than fully circular, supporting a tidy, slightly condensed impression in running text.
