A tall, tightly set sans with slim, even strokes and an overall condensed posture. Curves are smooth and oval-driven, while terminals are clean and largely unadorned, giving the letterforms a pared-back, geometric feel. Counters are narrow but open enough to keep shapes legible, and the rhythm is consistent across caps and lowercase, with a notably petite x-height relative to the ascenders. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction, maintaining the font’s vertical emphasis.
Works best for headlines, subheads, and short bursts of text where a compact footprint and tall silhouettes are desirable. It’s well-suited to editorial layouts, posters, and branding systems that need a modern, space-saving sans with a distinctive vertical rhythm.
The tone is sleek and contemporary, with a restrained, editorial dryness that reads as efficient and composed. Its compressed proportions add a slightly stylized, fashion-forward edge without becoming overtly decorative, making it feel modern and quietly assertive.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, contemporary condensed voice that maximizes horizontal economy while staying neutral and readable. Its geometric oval construction and consistent stroke treatment suggest a focus on modern display and editorial applications where vertical emphasis and tidy alignment are key.
The narrow build produces a strong vertical cadence, especially in text where repeated stems create a striped texture. Round letters (like O/Q and o/e) read as tall ellipses, reinforcing the condensed geometry and giving lines a light, airy color at larger sizes.
