A tall, tightly set display sans with elongated proportions and restrained, sculpted curves. Strokes stay mostly even but show subtle modulation and gentle swelling where curves meet straights, giving a lightly contrasted, chiseled feel. Terminals are clean and squared with occasional soft flares, and many forms are built from straight verticals paired with narrow bowls or arches. Counters are compact and vertical, creating a crisp rhythm and a strong, column-like texture in words and lines of text.
Best suited to display sizes where its tall proportions and stylized details can read clearly—posters, headlines, logotypes, packaging, and storefront or wayfinding-style signage. It can work for short editorial titles or pull quotes when a vintage-modern, Deco-leaning voice is desired, but its strong personality is more effective in shorter bursts than long passages.
The overall tone reads Art Deco and stage-ready—sleek, urbane, and slightly dramatic. Its narrow silhouettes and stylized construction evoke vintage poster lettering and early 20th‑century signage, with a refined, boutique sophistication rather than a neutral utilitarian voice.
Designed to deliver a condensed, decorative sans voice that feels architectural and refined, balancing clean geometry with subtle contrast for a classic-yet-modern display presence.
Several capitals lean on distinctive vertical architecture (notably in letters with split stems and narrow joins), which adds character but also increases stylistic presence in running text. Numerals follow the same condensed, display-oriented logic with clear, tall figures and simple forms suited to headlines and titling.
