A tall, compact sans with squared counters and softly rounded corners, built from straight verticals and tight, rectangular curves. Stroke modulation is evident: primary stems read sturdy while joins, terminals, and interior bends taper thinner, creating a crisp, high-contrast rhythm. The overall silhouette is narrow and vertical, with small apertures and a slightly mechanical geometry. Numerals and lowercase follow the same architectural logic, with neatly cut bowls and consistent corner radiusing that keeps the forms rigid but not harsh.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, headlines, brand marks, packaging panels, and signage where its narrow proportions and stylized contrast can read large and intentional. It can work for short editorial pull quotes or labels when you want a dense, graphic texture, but its tight apertures make it more comfortable at larger sizes than in long, small body copy.
The face conveys a poised, vintage modernism with an unmistakable Art Deco flavor—sleek, structured, and a little dramatic. Its narrow, upright stance and chiseled curves suggest signage, marquees, and editorial titling, projecting confidence and period character without ornate detailing.
The design appears intended to deliver a period-inspired, architectural sans for impactful titling—combining compact proportions with crisp contrast and squared curves to create a recognizable, decorative voice while remaining structurally clean.
Curves tend to resolve into boxy ovals and squared bowls, giving the alphabet a constructed, monoline-adjacent feel despite the visible contrast. The texture in paragraphs appears dark and even, with strong vertical emphasis and distinctive, condensed lettershapes that prioritize character over openness.
