A tall, condensed sans with consistent monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Curves are narrow and upright, with an overall high, slender silhouette and generous interior counters that keep forms open despite the tight widths. Corners and joins are smoothed rather than sharp, giving the shapes a gentle, streamlined feel; numerals and caps follow the same narrow, vertical rhythm for a uniform texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where space is tight and a sleek, vertical presence is desired—headlines, subheads, posters, and packaging callouts. It can also work for signage and interface labels where a clean, narrow word shape helps fit content into constrained widths while maintaining a friendly tone.
The font conveys a calm, contemporary tone—light on its feet, tidy, and approachable. Its rounded endings and narrow proportions lend a slightly playful friendliness while staying restrained and utilitarian, making it feel modern rather than retro or ornate.
The design appears intended to provide a compact, contemporary sans that remains readable by relying on open counters and rounded terminals rather than heavy stroke contrast or ornament. It prioritizes a neat, consistent rhythm and a modern, approachable voice for display and condensed text settings.
In running text the condensed proportions create a strong vertical cadence and a distinct column-like texture. The punctuation and dots appear small and crisp, reinforcing the minimal, clean presentation.
