A compact, monoline sans with tall proportions and a tight footprint. Strokes are consistently even with minimal contrast, and curves are built from clean, elliptical geometry with open apertures. The overall rhythm is vertical and compressed, with short crossbars and economical bowls that keep counters clear despite the narrow set. Numerals follow the same straightforward construction, reading cleanly with simple, upright forms.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and space-constrained typography where a narrow set helps fit more characters per line. It also works well for editorial titling, posters, and signage that benefits from clear, upright shapes. In interfaces, it can serve effectively for labels and short UI text where compactness and clarity are priorities.
The tone is modern and functional, with a no-nonsense clarity that feels at home in information-forward design. Its condensed stance adds an editorial urgency and a slightly technical, systems-oriented character without becoming cold or overly rigid.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving sans that stays readable through open counters and steady, even strokes. Its restrained geometry and vertical emphasis suggest a focus on practical communication and contemporary display typography.
Round letters maintain a controlled ovality rather than perfect circles, and joins stay smooth and restrained. The lowercase shows sturdy, legible silhouettes and a consistent baseline presence, while punctuation and dots appear crisp and compact in keeping with the overall economy of form.
