A tall, condensed sans with largely monolinear strokes and clean, open apertures. Curves are smooth and restrained, with rounded bowls balanced by straight-sided verticals, creating an efficient, compact rhythm in text. Proportions emphasize height over width, and punctuation and numerals follow the same straightforward, pared-back construction for a consistent overall texture.
Well suited to headlines and subheads where a compact width helps fit more characters per line. It can work effectively for posters, packaging, and signage that need a tall, commanding presence, and it also fits UI labels or navigation where space is constrained and a steady, even texture is desirable.
The font reads as modern and pragmatic, with a compact, no-nonsense tone suited to information-first typography. Its narrow stance and even color give it an editorial, space-saving feel that can also suggest technical or industrial clarity without becoming cold.
Likely designed to provide a space-efficient sans that stays clean and legible while maintaining a strong vertical presence. The restrained detailing and consistent stroke treatment suggest an emphasis on clarity, economy, and a contemporary editorial voice.
Uppercase forms are simplified and vertical-driven, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation and steady spacing for tight setting. The narrow letterforms create a dense typographic color, making the face feel assertive at display sizes and efficient in short text runs where horizontal space is limited.
