A tall, compact sans with consistently narrow proportions and mostly monoline strokes. Curves are smooth and restrained, with rounded bowls and open apertures that keep letters legible despite the tight width. Terminals are clean and unadorned, producing a crisp, straightforward texture; capitals are especially slim and vertical, while lowercase shapes remain simple and steady with a modest x-height and clear ascender/descender rhythm. Numerals follow the same condensed, even-color construction for a cohesive set.
Works well for headlines, subheads, captions, and space-constrained settings where you need to fit more characters per line. It can also suit signage, packaging panels, and UI labels that benefit from a clean, condensed voice and consistent stroke color.
The overall tone is modern and neutral, prioritizing clarity and economy of space. Its narrow stance and clean drawing feel functional and slightly technical, suited to information-forward design rather than expressive or decorative typography.
The design appears intended to provide a compact, highly legible sans for tight compositions, combining narrow proportions with uncomplicated, rounded construction to stay readable and consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
The condensed width creates a dense vertical rhythm that can look efficient in columns and tight layouts, but it benefits from comfortable tracking at larger sizes to avoid a crowded feel. Round letters maintain good interior space, helping readability in continuous text and UI-style labels.
