A tall, condensed sans with largely monoline strokes and rounded, softly tapered terminals. Curves are clean and elliptical, with narrow bowls and compact counters that create a crisp, vertical rhythm. Proportions emphasize height over width, and the overall texture stays light and even across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. Several forms show gentle idiosyncrasies—like angled joins and slightly flared ends—that add character without turning into ornament.
Best suited to display settings where verticality and economy of space matter—headlines, subheads, posters, and cover lines. It can also work for branding and packaging that wants a refined, modern look with a hint of personality, and for editorial pull quotes or short bursts of text where its condensed rhythm becomes a feature.
The tone is sleek and contemporary with a subtle retro-editorial flavor. Its narrow stance and calm stroke behavior feel disciplined and modern, while small quirks in letter construction give it a personable, slightly offbeat voice.
Likely designed to deliver a space-saving, high-impact condensed voice with a neutral foundation and a few distinctive construction details for recognizability. The emphasis appears to be on clean, rounded geometry and consistent texture that stays legible while feeling stylish in display use.
In text, the condensed width packs words tightly while maintaining a relatively open, airy feel due to the light stroke and generous internal spacing in round letters. The digit set follows the same tall proportions, reading consistent and understated alongside the letters.
