A condensed, monoline sans with tall proportions and compact horizontal spacing. Strokes stay even with minimal contrast, and curves are smooth and controlled, giving round letters a slightly oval feel. Terminals are crisp and largely straight, with a practical, no-nonsense construction; counters remain open and readable despite the narrow set. The numerals share the same upright, streamlined rhythm, and punctuation appears simple and sturdy for text use.
Well-suited to space-sensitive headlines, subheads, and poster typography where a tall, condensed texture helps fit more characters per line. It also fits editorial layouts, labels, and signage systems that benefit from a clear, consistent sans with a neutral presence.
The overall tone is modern and functional, with an editorial straightforwardness rather than a decorative voice. Its narrow, tall silhouette adds a sense of efficiency and urgency, while the consistent stroke weight keeps it calm and neutral.
The font appears intended as a space-efficient, readable sans for modern layouts, balancing compact width with open counters and a steady, even stroke. Its construction prioritizes clarity and consistency over expressive or ornamental details.
The design maintains a steady vertical emphasis across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a strong columnar texture in paragraphs. Round forms and joins are kept tight and tidy, supporting a clean rhythm at larger sizes and in compact layouts.
