A tall, tightly set sans with monoline strokes and a strongly vertical rhythm. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing squared-off bowls and corners that read as superelliptical rather than purely circular. Counters are narrow and apertures tend to be small, while terminals are crisp and mostly flat, giving the letters a linear, constructed feel. Several glyphs include distinctive inline breaks and bar-like cross strokes that act as graphic accents, and the numerals follow the same elongated, compact proportions.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short phrases where its condensed proportions and graphic inline details can be appreciated. It works well for branding, logotypes, packaging, and signage that want a vintage-modern, architectural look. For longer text, it will perform most comfortably at larger sizes where the tight counters and internal accents remain clear.
The overall tone feels streamlined and architectural, with a clear Art Deco and interwar poster sensibility. Its narrow silhouette and geometric rounding create a stylish, slightly theatrical mood that reads as vintage-modern rather than neutral. The recurring inline details add a hint of signage and ornamental lettering without becoming script-like.
This design appears intended as a display sans that modernizes Art Deco geometry through rounded-rectangle forms and disciplined, monoline construction. The narrow build and signature inline strokes suggest a goal of creating a memorable, poster-ready voice with strong vertical presence and a distinctive internal detailing system.
Spacing and proportions emphasize height over width, creating a strong vertical texture in words and headlines. The angular joins and squared curves keep the design feeling engineered, while the occasional internal strokes give certain letters a distinctive, almost stencil-like flavor at display sizes.
