A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and rounded terminals. The letterforms combine straight, vertical stems with softly curved bowls, producing a clean, geometric rhythm. Counters are generally open and simple, with a narrow overall footprint and consistent stroke thickness. Curves read smooth and controlled, while some joins and diagonals add a slightly idiosyncratic, contemporary texture.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and signage where a narrow width helps fit more characters per line while retaining a strong graphic presence. It can also work for branding and packaging that want a modern, compact wordmark style, especially in short phrases and titles.
The font feels modern and efficient, with a calm, functional voice suited to space-conscious typography. Subtle quirks in proportions and curves keep it from feeling purely utilitarian, giving it a friendly, slightly offbeat personality without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, contemporary sans optimized for vertical clarity and efficient spacing. Its geometric simplicity suggests a focus on clean reproduction, while the slightly characterful curves aim to keep the tone approachable and distinctive.
The condensed build and tall caps create strong vertical emphasis, and the numerals match the same straightforward, monoline construction. The overall impression is legible and structured at display sizes, with a distinctive narrow silhouette that stands out in headings and tight layouts.
