A tall, tightly condensed sans with a geometric, superellipse-informed construction. Strokes are largely monolinear, with rounded terminals and capsule-like verticals that give many letters a streamlined, columnar feel. Curves tend toward rounded-rectangle forms rather than circular bowls, while joins and diagonals stay crisp and controlled for a clean, engineered rhythm. Spacing is compact and the overall texture reads sleek and vertical, with distinctive, stylized capitals and simple, legible lowercase forms.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, and brand marks where a tall, sleek silhouette can carry the composition. It also works well for editorial display, packaging, and titling systems that want a refined retro accent while staying clean and minimal.
The font conveys a poised, retro-modern tone—equal parts Art Deco elegance and contemporary minimalism. Its narrow proportions and softened ends feel refined and fashionable, suggesting nightlife, cinema titles, and high-design branding rather than everyday neutrality.
This design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, vertical display voice built from simple geometric parts and softened terminals. The goal is high-impact readability in short lines, combining a stylish vintage reference with a controlled, modern finish.
Several capitals lean into display-like stylization, with simplified counters and strong vertical emphasis that can create striking word shapes at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same condensed, rounded-rectangle logic, maintaining a consistent, streamlined presence across headings and short bursts of text.
