A compact, condensed sans with mostly monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle curves. The capitals are tall and streamlined with narrow proportions, while the lowercase keeps a small, compact body and simple constructions. Bowls and counters are tight and often slightly squarish, and terminals are generally blunt and clean. Overall spacing reads economical, producing an even, vertical rhythm with a subtle industrial feel.
Best suited to short to medium text where vertical economy matters: headlines, posters, packaging labels, and wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for UI headings or compact informational layouts where a condensed sans is needed and the design benefits from a clean, structured rhythm.
The tone is modern, functional, and slightly retro-industrial—more signage and system-type than friendly or expressive. Its compact forms and restrained detailing give it a pragmatic, technical voice that feels confident and straightforward.
The design appears intended to provide a space-saving sans with clear, consistent forms and a controlled, modernist rhythm. Its condensed proportions and simplified geometry suggest an emphasis on efficient communication and a sturdy, system-like presence.
Distinctive details include the very narrow overall set, small counters in letters like a/e/s, and a crisp, simplified treatment of diagonals in V/W/X. Figures appear relatively light and open compared to the letters, with simple shapes and minimal ornamentation.
