A tall, tightly set sans with compact proportions and a slightly irregular width from letter to letter. Strokes stay largely monoline with minimal contrast, and terminals read mostly straight-cut with occasional soft rounding. Counters are relatively small and vertical stress dominates, giving rounds like O/C a narrow oval feel. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, single‑storey construction where applicable, with modest apertures and a consistent, workmanlike rhythm across text.
Best suited to short-form display settings where space is limited and impact is needed, such as headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and condensed brand wordmarks. It can also work for subheads or UI callouts where a compact, high-density line is desirable.
The overall tone is direct and no-nonsense, with a compressed silhouette that feels contemporary and attention-getting. Its narrow, upright stance suggests efficiency and urgency, making it read as pragmatic rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to maximize legibility and presence in a narrow footprint, delivering a strong typographic color without relying on ornament. Its consistent stroke weight and compact counters point to a functional, contemporary condensed sans aimed at efficient communication.
In the sample text, the condensed spacing and tall ascenders/descenders create a strong vertical cadence; at larger sizes the narrow counters and tight joins become a defining texture. Numerals follow the same condensed logic and maintain a sturdy, uniform color alongside the letters.
