A compact, condensed sans with uniform stroke weight and clean, open counters. Curves are smooth and relatively geometric, while terminals are mostly flat with occasional softly rounded joins. The overall fit is tight, with short extenders and a restrained, straightforward construction that stays consistent from caps to lowercase and numerals.
Its condensed build makes it effective for headlines, subheads, and posters where horizontal space is limited. It also fits wayfinding and signage, as well as packaging and labels that need a clear, economical voice.
The tone is pragmatic and contemporary, prioritizing clarity and space-efficiency over expressiveness. It reads as neutral and businesslike, with a slightly industrial feel due to its compressed proportions and no-nonsense detailing.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving sans that remains readable and consistent across mixed-case text and numbers. It emphasizes straightforward geometry and stable rhythm for practical, high-utility typography.
The narrow proportions create a strong vertical rhythm in text, making it well suited to dense settings. Numerals follow the same compact logic, appearing sturdy and easily scannable at display and subhead sizes.
