A condensed, geometric sans with consistent stroke weight and smooth, circular curves. Counters are open and round, terminals are clean and largely squared-off, and the overall rhythm is even and restrained. Proportions are tall and compact, with narrow letter widths and relatively generous internal space for a monoline design, keeping shapes readable despite the tight footprint. Uppercase forms feel structured and schematic, while lowercase maintains simple, single-storey constructions and straightforward joins.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where a compact width is valuable, such as posters, branding systems, packaging, and signage/wayfinding. It can also work for UI labels and navigation elements when space is tight, provided sizes are sufficient to preserve the fine, monoline detail.
The tone is modern and understated, with a refined, functional character. Its narrow stance and tidy geometry give it an efficient, engineered feel that reads as contemporary and objective rather than expressive or decorative.
Likely designed to provide a space-saving sans that keeps a neutral, contemporary voice while maintaining clear geometric construction. The emphasis appears to be on clean repetition of forms, consistent stroke behavior, and an efficient typographic footprint for modern layouts.
The design leans on near-circular bowls (notably in O/Q and rounded lowercase forms) contrasted with straight, vertical stems, creating a clear geometric theme. Figures match the same condensed, monoline logic and appear optimized for consistent texture in sequences.
