A tall, condensed sans with a monoline stroke and strongly simplified geometry. Curves are built from clean, near-circular bowls and long, straight verticals, giving the letters a vertical, column-like rhythm. Counters are relatively open for the width, with rounded joins and a consistent, even stroke that keeps texture steady in text. Several forms show purposeful stylization—such as compact bowls, sharp inner corners, and distinctive terminals—that add character while maintaining overall clarity.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and branding where a narrow, space-saving voice is helpful and the distinctive letterforms can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages or captions when a compact, modern texture is desired, especially in layouts with limited horizontal room.
The tone reads modern and streamlined, with a slightly idiosyncratic, display-leaning personality. Its narrow proportions and crisp construction feel efficient and contemporary, while the unusual detailing in a few letters adds a subtle retro or Art-Deco-like quirk without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to provide a compact, contemporary sans with a geometric backbone and a touch of personality. It prioritizes a consistent monoline texture and a strong vertical presence, aiming for legibility at display sizes while delivering a recognizable, stylized look.
In running text the condensed width produces a tight horizontal footprint and a strong vertical cadence, which can be useful for fitting copy into narrow columns. Numerals and capitals match the same tall, even-stroke logic, creating a consistent, linear color across mixed-case settings.
