A tightly condensed display face with tall proportions and pronounced stroke modulation, pairing thick vertical stems with very thin connecting strokes. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing smooth, squarish bowls and narrow apertures. Terminals are mostly clean and blunt, with occasional tapered connections where thin strokes meet heavier stems. The rhythm is strongly vertical and compact, with consistent narrow sidebearings and a crisp, poster-ready silhouette across letters and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed width and sharp contrast can create impact—headlines, posters, titling, and brand marks. It also works well for short bursts of text on packaging or editorial cover lines, especially when a refined, vintage-modern feel is desired.
The overall tone feels glamorous and architectural, echoing vintage marquee and Art Deco lettering while staying clean and contemporary. The extreme verticality and contrast add drama and a sense of sophistication, making words feel stylized and intentional rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact display voice that blends geometric rounded forms with dramatic contrast. Its narrow set and stylized joins suggest a focus on branding and titling where space is tight but personality is essential.
Uppercase forms read as tall and monoline-adjacent in silhouette despite clear internal contrast, while lowercase introduces distinctive looped descenders and narrow counters that heighten the decorative flavor. Numerals follow the same condensed, vertical logic, keeping a unified texture in mixed text.
