A tightly condensed sans with uniform stroke weight and a strong vertical emphasis. Forms are built from straight stems and rounded caps, producing a modular, almost constructed feel; several letters show deliberate breaks or notches in the strokes that read as stencil-like detailing rather than true serifs. Counters are narrow and openings are controlled, with smooth, rounded terminals on bowls and shoulders. Overall spacing is compact and rhythmic, giving lines of text a tall, streamlined silhouette.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed proportions and stylized construction can read as a design feature—headlines, posters, logos, product packaging, and wayfinding or storefront-style signage. It can also work for short blocks of text when ample size and spacing are available.
The design conveys an Art Deco–leaning, retro-industrial tone—clean, engineered, and slightly theatrical. Its narrow, upright posture and stylized interruptions add a hint of futuristic signage while still feeling orderly and deliberate.
The font appears designed to reinterpret a condensed geometric sans through a decorative, constructed lens, using rounded geometry and subtle stencil-like breaks to create a distinctive, period-evocative texture. The goal seems to be high visual personality in narrow widths while maintaining a clean, systematic structure.
The distinctive stroke interruptions become more noticeable in longer text, where they create a patterned texture across the line. Numerals follow the same condensed, rounded construction, keeping a consistent, display-oriented voice across letters and figures.
