A condensed monoline sans with tall proportions and an even, low-contrast stroke. Round letters lean geometric, with near-circular bowls and clean, open apertures, while verticals dominate the overall rhythm. Several forms introduce distinctive internal details—such as the low crossbar on e and the looped descender on g—that add a decorative, constructed feel without departing from a streamlined silhouette. Numerals match the slender texture, with simple, open shapes and graceful curves that keep the set visually consistent.
Best suited to display typography where its condensed vertical rhythm can create impact: headlines, posters, cover treatments, and branding or packaging that benefits from a refined, vintage-leaning voice. It also works for short editorial callouts and signage where a sleek, elegant tone is desired.
The font conveys an Art Deco–leaning sophistication: polished, airy, and slightly theatrical. Its narrow stance and geometric roundness suggest vintage poster elegance, while the monoline construction keeps it modern and uncluttered.
The design appears intended to deliver a decorative, Art Deco–influenced sans for contemporary display use, combining geometric construction with a few expressive, custom details to keep the texture distinctive while remaining clean and legible at larger sizes.
In text, the tight letterfit and tall caps create a strong vertical cadence, making word shapes look sleek and elongated. The design’s character comes through most in a few signature glyphs (notably e and g), which can add charm at display sizes but may draw attention in long passages.
