The word for today is…

concise (adjective) -

: marked by brevity of expression or statement : free from all elaboration and superfluous detail

Source : [Merriam-Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/concise?ref=goodoil.news)

Etymology : Many people think that adding unnecessary sentences with long words will make their writing more impressive. But in fact almost every reader values concision, since concise writing is usually easier to read, better thought out, and better organized—that is, simply better writing. Words such as short don't have the full meaning of concise, which usually means not just "brief" but "packed with information".
