A tall, condensed sans with largely uniform stroke weight and a compact horizontal footprint. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a softly squared feel rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are clean and straightforward, with limited modulation and crisp joins that keep silhouettes tight. The overall rhythm is vertical and streamlined, with narrow apertures and neatly controlled spacing that reads orderly in both capitals and lowercase.
Well-suited to space-limited settings where a clean, contemporary voice is needed—headlines, posters, and packaging that benefit from a tall condensed presence. It can also work for UI labels, navigation, and signage where vertical clarity and consistent stroke weight help maintain a tidy, structured look.
The tone is modern and utilitarian, with a quiet, engineered character. Its narrow, upright stance and simplified shapes feel space-conscious and efficient, leaning toward a contemporary editorial or interface sensibility rather than expressive or calligraphic warmth.
The design appears intended to maximize information density while retaining a friendly, contemporary softness through rounded-rectangle curves. It prioritizes consistent rhythm, compact width, and simplified forms for a clear, modern typographic system.
Numbers follow the same condensed, monoline logic, maintaining consistent color and alignment alongside text. The sample text shows stable word shapes and an even typographic color at larger sizes, while the compact widths create a distinctly stacked, column-friendly texture.
