A tall, tightly set sans with monoline strokes and compact proportions that emphasize verticality. Curves are smooth and controlled, while terminals are mostly plain and straightforward, keeping the overall drawing clean. Round letters like O/C are narrow and slightly oval, and the lowercase forms maintain a clear, readable structure with simple joins and modest apertures. Numerals follow the same condensed rhythm, aligning well with the letterforms for consistent color in text.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and branding systems that need a compact footprint and a strong vertical signature. It can also work for short editorial passages, captions, or packaging copy where a narrow measure is helpful and a clean, contemporary tone is desired.
The font conveys a contemporary, no-nonsense tone—confident and streamlined rather than expressive. Its compressed rhythm reads as efficient and editorial, giving headlines a focused, metropolitan feel without relying on decorative details.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving sans that still feels polished and deliberate, pairing a restrained, modern skeleton with smooth curves for clarity. The consistent, controlled drawing suggests an emphasis on uniform texture and dependable readability in condensed layouts.
Because of the strong vertical emphasis, the type creates a pronounced “tall” texture in paragraphs and a sharp, linear presence in display sizes. The consistent stroke weight helps it stay even across mixed-case settings and alphanumeric combinations.
