A compact, condensed sans with sturdy, even strokes and largely closed counters that keep forms dense and punchy. Curves are smooth and round while joins stay practical and straightforward, creating a clean, engineered rhythm. Uppercase shapes are tall and narrow with simple construction, and lowercase maintains a steady, readable texture with minimal modulation. Numerals follow the same compact proportions and consistent stroke logic, reading clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where space is limited and a strong, compact voice is needed. It also works well for labels and interface display text that benefits from tight set widths and clear, sturdy forms.
The overall tone is contemporary and workmanlike—direct, efficient, and confident without feeling flashy. Its tight proportions and solid silhouettes give it a purposeful, urban practicality suited to information-forward design.
The design appears intended to maximize economy of space while preserving straightforward legibility, offering a dependable condensed sans for modern branding and information-heavy layouts.
Spacing appears balanced for a condensed face, keeping words compact while still maintaining distinct letterforms. Round bowls and apertures avoid feeling overly geometric, landing in a familiar, everyday sans territory that stays legible in larger text settings.
