A highly condensed sans with linear, even stroke weight and crisp terminals. The forms are built from simple geometry—tall vertical stems, narrow bowls, and rounded curves that stay tight to the set width—creating a clean, columnar rhythm across text. Uppercase letters appear especially slender and upright, while lowercase maintains a compact x-height with clear ascenders and descenders, giving the face a tall silhouette and a light footprint on the line. Counters are kept open and uncluttered, and spacing reads controlled and consistent for such a narrow design.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and editorial layouts where a narrow width helps fit more characters without sacrificing clarity. It can also work well in packaging, labels, and signage systems that benefit from a tidy, space-saving typographic voice.
The overall tone is modern and restrained, with an airy, pared-back feel that suggests efficiency and precision. Its tall proportions and uncluttered shapes convey a slightly technical, editorial sensibility rather than warmth or ornament.
The design appears intended as a space-efficient, contemporary condensed sans that stays neutral and legible while creating a distinctive tall, sleek texture in lines of text.
The condensed structure emphasizes verticality, making the font visually economical in tight columns while still keeping round letters smooth and readable. The numerals follow the same slim, straightforward construction, matching the text color and maintaining a cohesive rhythm alongside uppercase and lowercase.
