A condensed, vertically oriented sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and softly squared curves. Strokes read largely monolinear with gentle modulation, and terminals are clean and controlled, often finishing in subtly rounded or flattened ends rather than sharp points. Counters are narrow and tall, with generous vertical extenders and a prominent, high x-height that keeps lowercase forms columnar and compact. Round letters lean toward superelliptic ovals, giving the face a consistent, streamlined rhythm; details like the compact bowls and neatly contained joins emphasize an engineered, display-forward structure.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short passages where the distinctive condensed silhouette can carry the layout. It works well for branding, packaging, and editorial display applications that benefit from a refined, retro-modern voice, especially where horizontal space is limited.
The overall tone feels Art Deco–adjacent: sleek, sophisticated, and slightly theatrical without becoming ornate. Its narrow, tower-like proportions suggest luxury branding and period-inspired graphics, conveying poise and formality with a modern geometric polish.
The design appears intended as a stylized geometric display sans that combines compact width with tall, rounded-rectangular forms to create an elegant, period-tinged texture. Its consistent superelliptic construction and controlled terminals prioritize a strong visual identity over neutrality for continuous reading.
In text settings the narrow sidebearings and vertical emphasis create a strong texture that stays even and disciplined, but the stylization is noticeable and may feel assertive at smaller sizes. Figures and capitals share the same elongated, rounded-rectilinear logic, supporting cohesive titling and headline use where the distinctive silhouette can read clearly.
