A highly condensed sans with tall proportions and compact sidebearings, creating a tight vertical rhythm. Strokes are largely monoline with minimal contrast, and terminals are mostly flat, giving the design a crisp, engineered feel. Curved forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry rather than pure circles, with subtly softened corners and evenly tensioned bowls. The lowercase shows a straightforward, single-storey construction in several letters, and the overall spacing and proportions emphasize height and efficiency over openness.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where space is limited and a strong vertical texture is desirable. It works well for posters, packaging, signage, and UI labels that need a modern condensed voice, and it can serve as a display companion in brand systems that call for compact typography.
The font conveys a contemporary, no-nonsense tone—lean, organized, and slightly industrial. Its narrow stance and disciplined shapes suggest signage, interface labeling, and technical communication more than expressive or decorative typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum legibility and presence in narrow widths, using controlled, rounded-rectangular curves and restrained detailing to keep shapes consistent across letters and figures. It prioritizes compactness and systematic construction for contemporary layout needs.
Uppercase counters are relatively small for the width, reinforcing the condensed texture, while the numerals follow the same tall, compact logic for consistent color in mixed content. Round letters like O/C/G read as squarish-oval, helping maintain uniformity across the set and keeping the design from feeling overly geometric or overly humanist.
