A condensed, monolinear sans with clean, squared terminals and gently rounded curves. The drawing is even and steady, with moderate, consistent stroke modulation and a compact overall footprint. Round letters stay fairly vertical and controlled, while straight-sided forms (like E, F, H, N) feel crisp and engineered. The lowercase shows straightforward constructions with simple bowls and a single-storey ‘g’, and the figures follow the same pared-back, utilitarian rhythm.
Well-suited to interfaces, navigation, and information design where space is limited and labels need to stay readable. It also works for packaging systems, headlines, and compact editorial settings that benefit from a tight measure and an even typographic color.
The tone is neutral and workmanlike, prioritizing clarity over personality. Its compact proportions and crisp terminals give it a practical, contemporary feel—more functional than expressive.
The design appears intended as a compact, no-nonsense sans for general-purpose typography, balancing straightforward geometry with enough openness to remain legible in continuous text and dense layouts.
Counters remain relatively open for the width, helping small-size clarity, while the narrow set creates a dense color in paragraphs. The overall rhythm is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with minimal stylistic quirks and a focus on uniformity.
