A condensed display sans with tall, vertical proportions and a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. Many forms are built from rounded-rectangle counters and softened terminals, while the straighter strokes stay crisp and columnar, creating a structured, poster-like texture. Curves tend to pinch into narrow joins (notably in rounded letters and numerals), and the lowercase keeps compact bowls and a low midline, producing a tight, high-impact line of text. Figures are similarly stylized, with narrow widths and strong internal contrast that reads as ornamental rather than purely utilitarian.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks where its condensed width and sculpted contrast can carry personality. It also works well for packaging and event materials that want a retro-luxe or theatrical feel, and for short editorial titling where the strong vertical rhythm adds presence.
The overall tone feels Art Deco–inspired and stage-ready: refined but assertive, with a hint of vintage glamour. The sharp verticality and sculpted curves give it a dramatic, editorial voice that suggests headlines, marquees, and stylized branding rather than neutral UI typography.
The font appears designed to deliver a distinctive, vintage-leaning display voice using condensed proportions and stylized superelliptical counters. Its aim is to create impact and atmosphere through dramatic contrast and geometric shaping while keeping letterforms clean and sans in construction.
The design’s character comes from the interplay of rigid vertical stems and superelliptical, rounded counters, which produces a distinctive “carved” look in letters like O, Q, S, and 8. The condensed spacing and pronounced inner shapes can create strong patterns in text blocks, so it benefits from generous tracking and larger sizes.
