A tall, condensed sans with an elegant, display-oriented rhythm and generous verticality. Strokes are predominantly monolinear with smoothly rounded terminals and corners, creating a soft, polished finish despite the narrow proportions. Several letters introduce distinctive bulb-like vertical stems and teardrop counters that alternate between solid and open forms, giving the design a high-contrast feel in mass rather than in stroke. Curves are clean and geometric, crossbars are minimal and precise, and the overall spacing reads airy while maintaining a consistent, tightly drawn silhouette.
Best suited for display sizes where its narrow, stylized forms and alternating solid/outline details remain clear. It works especially well for branding and logotypes, fashion and beauty packaging, posters, and editorial headings where a sleek, decorative voice is desired.
The font projects a refined, Art Deco–leaning sophistication with a quirky, contemporary twist. Its mix of slender lines and rounded, filled elements feels theatrical and fashion-minded—equal parts glamorous and slightly whimsical—suited to attention-grabbing headlines rather than quiet text.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic Deco-inspired condensed sans through modern simplification and rounded, sculptural details. The goal seems to be a distinctive headline face that balances elegance with novelty, using selective filled shapes as signature accents.
Capitals and lowercase share a consistent narrow build, with simplified constructions (notably in E/F/T-like forms) that enhance the streamlined look. Numerals echo the same narrow, rounded approach, with some figures using open, single-stroke shapes while others adopt heavier, capsule-like forms for emphasis.
