A tall, condensed display face with monolinear strokes and deliberate stencil-like separations that create small bridges in key joins and curves. The proportions are strongly vertical, with narrow counters and compact bowls, producing a tight, columnar rhythm across words. Terminals tend toward crisp, tapered or slightly flared endings, while curves remain controlled and clean, giving the forms a refined, poster-like geometry. Numerals and uppercase share the same elongated stance, and the lowercase keeps a modest x-height that emphasizes ascenders and overall verticality.
Best suited to display settings where its tall, condensed silhouette and stencil detailing can be appreciated—posters, headlines, title sequences, and brand marks. It can also work for short editorial callouts or packaging accents when used with generous tracking and ample line spacing to maintain clarity.
The overall tone feels retro and stage-ready—evoking marquee lettering, classic film titles, and Deco-era signage with a modern, minimal stroke weight. The stencil breaks add a crafted, cut-out impression that reads as design-forward rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, vertically stretched look with a controlled stencil motif—combining Deco-like elegance with the practical, cut-out visual language of bridged strokes. It prioritizes distinctive word-shapes and a dramatic rhythm for attention-grabbing typography.
Spacing appears intentionally lean, with narrow internal spaces and a steady vertical cadence that becomes most distinctive at larger sizes. The stencil bridges are consistent enough to register as a stylistic system, creating sparkle in continuous text while preserving clear letter identities in the sample pangrams.
