A tall, condensed sans with consistent monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Counters are narrow and vertical, with a steady rhythm that emphasizes height over width. Curves are smooth and restrained, and joins stay clean and uncluttered, giving the letterforms a neat, linear silhouette. The numerals follow the same slim proportions, keeping a cohesive, lightweight texture in continuous text.
Works well for posters, headlines, packaging, and branding where a slim footprint and tall presence are useful. It can also suit signage or UI labels when a clean, compact look is needed, particularly in short bursts of text or narrow layouts.
The overall tone feels retro and slightly playful while remaining clean and understated. Its narrow, elongated proportions add a sense of elegance and efficiency, and the rounded finishing details keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to provide a space-saving, modernized take on a condensed sans, pairing streamlined geometry with rounded terminals for a softer, more inviting feel. It prioritizes clarity and consistency while adding a subtle vintage flavor through its elongated proportions.
Spacing appears relatively tight and columnar, producing a compact, vertical color that suits short lines and stacked settings. The design maintains a consistent stroke logic across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, which helps it look orderly in paragraphs and punchy in display sizes.
