A condensed sans with a strong vertical rhythm and conspicuous contrast between hefty main strokes and hairline-like joins and terminals. Forms are predominantly geometric with rounded rectangles and softened corners, producing tall, columnar silhouettes in both caps and lowercase. Counters are compact and often vertically oriented, and several letters use thin internal strokes or inset bars that create a cut-in, modular feel (notably in E/F and some lowercase joins). Curves tend to be smooth and tightly controlled, while straight segments remain crisp, giving the design a clean but highly stylized texture.
Works best in headlines and short display settings where its condensed stance and high-contrast detailing can be appreciated. It is well suited to posters, brand marks, packaging, and signage where a retro-modern or architectural tone is desired. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous spacing help preserve clarity of the thin connectors and tight counters.
The font reads as retro-futurist and Art Deco–leaning, with an architectural, signage-like presence. Its sharp contrast and condensed proportions feel sleek and engineered, balancing elegance with a slightly playful, ornamental twist. Overall tone is confident and graphic, suited to attention-getting typography rather than neutral text.
The design appears intended as a stylized display sans that merges geometric construction with dramatic contrast, evoking early modernist and Deco-era lettering while staying clean and contemporary. Its narrow proportions and tall lowercase aim to maximize impact and efficiency in vertical space, making it effective for compact, high-visibility typography.
Distinctive construction details—like pinched joins, thin connectors, and rounded-rectangle bowls—create a recognizable voice across the set. Numerals follow the same condensed, high-contrast logic, with simplified, poster-friendly shapes that emphasize verticality over width.
