A tall, condensed display sans with rounded-rectangle curves and a distinctly vertical rhythm. Strokes are largely uniform with subtle contrast, and terminals are clean, often finishing in soft, squared-off corners rather than sharp cuts. Counters tend toward narrow, pill-shaped openings, giving letters a “high-waisted” look with long stems and compact bowls. The overall texture is airy and linear, with tight interior spacing and consistent curvature that reads more geometric than humanist.
Best suited to headlines, posters, editorial display, and branding where a narrow footprint and strong silhouette are useful. It can work well for signage, packaging, and logotypes that want a vintage-modern, streamlined feel. In longer text, it’s likely most effective at larger sizes where the narrow counters and tall proportions remain clear.
The tone is strongly early-20th-century and stage-ready: sleek, decorative, and slightly dramatic without becoming ornate. Its narrow silhouettes and elongated forms suggest vintage signage, cocktail-era sophistication, and poster typography. The rounded geometry keeps it approachable while still feeling tailored and stylized.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, space-efficient display voice with a consistent rounded-rectangle geometry. By combining condensed proportions with clean terminals and repeated capsule-like curves, it aims for a distinctive retro personality while maintaining a neat, modern finish.
Distinctive character comes from the superelliptical curves and the way many rounded letters are drawn as tall capsules, creating a repeated motif across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. The figures follow the same condensed, rounded logic, helping headlines and lockups feel unified. The design favors vertical emphasis and crisp silhouettes over dense readability at small sizes.
