A clean sans with slender, even strokes and a notably condensed overall set width. Curves are smooth and near-geometric (round O/C forms), while straight stems stay crisp and vertical, creating a consistent, quiet rhythm. Capitals sit tall and relatively restrained in width, and the lowercase shows compact proportions with simple, unembellished terminals; counters remain open and readable despite the narrow fit. Numerals follow the same spare construction, with round forms staying balanced and linear figures keeping tight spacing.
Works well for interface labels, small headlines, captions, and any layout that needs to conserve horizontal space while staying clean and legible. It can also suit editorial subheads and minimalist poster typography where a narrow, modern texture is desirable.
The tone is contemporary and understated, prioritizing clarity over personality. Its restrained shapes and tidy spacing feel efficient and neutral, lending a refined, editorial calm rather than a playful or expressive voice.
Likely designed to provide a space-saving, contemporary sans with a neutral voice and consistent geometry, offering clear forms that hold up in both short display lines and compact supporting text.
The font’s condensed proportions and simple geometry make it feel space-conscious; rounded letters (like O/Q) read smoothly, while diagonals (A/V/W/X) keep a sharp, technical feel. In longer text, the compact lowercase and tight width emphasize verticality and a streamlined texture.
