A condensed display sans with tall proportions, squared shoulders, and softened corners that read as gently chamfered. Strokes show subtle modulation, with verticals tending heavier than horizontals, and terminals that often finish in clean, flat cuts. Curves are compact and controlled, producing narrow counters and a tight rhythm in text. The lowercase follows the same upright, architectural construction, with simple, vertical-driven forms and minimal branching details.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short statements where its condensed silhouette can add height and presence without using much horizontal space. It also works well for branding marks, packaging fronts, and signage-inspired layouts that benefit from a vintage, architectural display voice.
The overall tone is retro and stage-ready, evoking Art Deco signage, vintage posters, and classic cinema titling. Its disciplined geometry and compressed width feel formal and slightly dramatic, with a crisp, engineered character rather than a casual one.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact display style with a period-evocative, geometric construction. It prioritizes a strong vertical rhythm and a crisp, carved-looking finish for attention-grabbing titling and identity use.
In running text the condensed spacing and narrow apertures create a strong vertical cadence, making the face feel assertive at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same tall, poster-like stance, supporting headline systems that need consistent, stylized emphasis.
