A compact, tall sans with a strict vertical stance and consistently thin strokes. The forms lean geometric, with rounded-rectangle curves and softly squared counters that keep bowls and apertures clean and controlled. Proportions are strongly condensed, with short crossbars and narrow internal spaces that create an efficient rhythm in text. Terminals are plain and unembellished, and the overall construction feels systematic, emphasizing straight sides, tight curves, and a restrained, monoline skeleton.
Best suited to display roles where a narrow footprint is helpful: headlines, subheads, posters, and packaging with tight horizontal space. It can also work for UI labels, navigation, and information design where a clean, systematic voice is desired, provided sizes and spacing are chosen to preserve clarity.
The font reads as contemporary and utilitarian, with a cool, orderly tone. Its narrow, upright build and pared-back detailing suggest precision and neutrality, while the rounded-rectilinear curves add a subtle softness that keeps it from feeling harsh. Overall it conveys a streamlined, technical modernity suited to structured layouts.
Likely designed to offer a space-saving, modern sans that stays visually consistent through a geometric, rounded-rectangle construction. The emphasis on tall proportions, clean terminals, and controlled curves suggests an intention to feel efficient and contemporary while remaining approachable through softened corners.
The condensed width and tall proportions produce strong vertical emphasis and noticeable spacing patterns, especially in mixed-case text. Rounded corners on curved letters and numerals help unify the design, while the thin strokes give it a light visual footprint that benefits from ample leading and careful tracking.
