A tall, condensed display face with a disciplined, rectilinear construction and consistent, monolinear stroke weight. Strokes terminate in crisp, square-ended slab-like serifs and flat terminals, producing a clean, engineered silhouette. Curves are tightly controlled and often resolve into rounded-rectangle corners rather than broad bowls, while counters stay narrow and vertical. The overall rhythm is upright and even, with slightly idiosyncratic proportions in a few forms that heighten its display character without breaking consistency.
Best suited to display sizes where its tall proportions and squared terminals can read as intentional style—headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding-style signage, and brand wordmarks. It also works well for packaging and editorial titling where a refined, vintage-leaning tone is desired.
The font projects an Art Deco–leaning elegance: poised, metropolitan, and slightly theatrical. Its narrow stance and crisp terminals feel tailored and editorial, suggesting vintage signage, cocktail-era sophistication, and curated modernism rather than casual everyday text.
The design appears intended as a condensed, slab-accented display face that channels early 20th-century modernism. By combining monolinear strokes with firm, square terminals and tightened curves, it aims to deliver high-impact vertical rhythm and a polished, architectural look in short to medium text settings.
In continuous text the compressed apertures and tall ascenders create a strong vertical cadence, making spacing and line breaks visually prominent. The numerals share the same narrow, squared-off logic, helping headings and set-in figures feel unified.
