A tall, tightly condensed sans with even, monoline strokes and compact sidebearings. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse-like forms, giving bowls and counters a smooth, controlled geometry rather than a purely circular feel. Terminals are clean and largely straight-cut, with minimal modulation and a steady vertical rhythm; punctuation and dots are small and crisp, reinforcing the lean texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and branding where horizontal space is limited but a strong vertical presence is desired. It also works well for UI labels, navigation, and packaging systems that need compact text with a clean, consistent rhythm.
The overall tone is modern and utilitarian, with a calm, engineered neatness. Its narrow proportions and consistent stroke build a focused, space-efficient voice that feels contemporary, slightly industrial, and well suited to information-forward messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum economy of width while maintaining a friendly, controlled geometry through rounded-rectilinear curves. It prioritizes consistency and a streamlined texture, aiming for a contemporary condensed sans that stays clear and orderly in display and short-text settings.
The condensed fit creates a strong vertical cadence, and the rounded geometry keeps the design from feeling harsh despite the tight width. In the sample text, the narrow forms and small counters create a dense typographic color, favoring crisp alignment and a disciplined, structured look.
