A compact, condensed sans with monoline strokes and softly rounded corners that keep the geometry feeling friendly rather than rigid. Curves are built from smooth, near-circular bowls (notably in O, C, G, and e), while verticals remain straight and steady, producing an even, low‑friction rhythm across lines. Apertures are generally open and counters are generous for the width, supporting clarity at text sizes. The lowercase shows straightforward, contemporary constructions (single-storey a and g), and the numerals follow the same simplified, consistent stroke logic.
Works well for space-conscious settings such as user interfaces, navigation systems, charts, and data-heavy layouts where compact width helps fit more characters per line. It can also serve as a neutral editorial or marketing sans for headings and short-to-medium text when a clean, contemporary tone is desired.
The tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a clean, no-nonsense voice suited to information delivery. Its condensed proportions add a subtle sense of efficiency and urban practicality, while the rounded joins prevent it from feeling harsh or overly technical.
Designed to provide a compact, highly readable sans for everyday typography, prioritizing consistent stroke behavior, open shapes, and straightforward letterforms. The overall construction suggests an emphasis on functional clarity and space efficiency without introducing decorative quirks.
Capital forms are compact with relatively uniform proportions and minimal modulation, and the overall spacing reads even in paragraphs. Distinctive shapes include a simple, straight-backed R, a clean diagonal-legged K, and a tidy, open-tailed Q; punctuation and symbols in the sample text sit plainly and unobtrusively alongside the letters.
