A condensed, monolinear sans with softly rounded corners and tall, elongated proportions. Curves are drawn as smooth, narrow ovals and arcs, while horizontals and terminals tend to end in clean, slightly rounded cuts. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with small counters and compact apertures that keep forms crisp in narrow widths. Uppercase shapes feel geometric and streamlined, and the lowercase follows with similarly narrow bowls and a high-waisted, upright construction that maintains consistent color across text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and logotypes where its condensed geometry and stylized shapes can carry personality. It can also work for short blocks of text or captions when a retro, streamlined voice is desired, though its tight apertures suggest giving it a bit of size or tracking in longer settings.
The overall tone reads as classic and stylized, with a distinctly Art Deco and early-modern poster sensibility. Its tall, sleek silhouettes feel theatrical and metropolitan, projecting a polished, curated mood rather than a neutral utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, vertical display voice that evokes streamlined modernism while staying clean and legible. Its consistent stroke and rounded geometry prioritize a unified texture and a distinctive silhouette for branding and titling.
Distinctive letterforms stand out in the narrow oval ‘O’ and ‘Q’, the simplified, straight-armed ‘E’ and ‘F’, and the sharply tapered diagonals in letters like ‘V’, ‘W’, and ‘X’. Numerals match the condensed, monolinear logic, keeping a consistent vertical emphasis and signage-like clarity.
