A condensed, monoline sans with tall proportions and a strongly vertical rhythm. Strokes stay consistently even, with softly rounded joins and terminals that read as subtly curved rather than sharply cut. Counters are narrow and elongated, and round letters (O, C, G, Q) are drawn as tall ovals, giving the face a streamlined, space-saving silhouette. Lowercase forms are compact and upright, with a single-storey a and g, short crossbars, and tight apertures that keep the texture uniform in paragraphs.
This font is well suited to space-constrained headlines, subheads, and compact layouts where you need a clean sans that can fit more characters per line. It can also work effectively on packaging, labels, and signage systems that benefit from a narrow footprint and consistent stroke texture.
The overall tone is modern and practical, with a controlled, engineered feel. Its narrow, upright stance suggests efficiency and order, while the gentle rounding keeps it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to provide a straightforward condensed sans for contemporary communication—prioritizing economy of space, consistent rhythm, and clean reproduction across sizes.
The numeral set follows the same condensed, monoline logic, with simple, legible shapes that align well to the surrounding text. In running copy the type builds a consistent vertical “stripe” pattern, making it read crisp and organized, especially at display and UI-like sizes.
