A condensed, all-caps-forward sans with heavy vertical strokes and tight counters, built from rounded-rectangle curves and crisp, squared terminals. The letterforms are predominantly monoline, but the shaping introduces subtle optical modulation where curves pinch and expand, especially in bowls and S-curves. Crossbars and joins are compact and often sit high, while apertures tend to be narrow, giving the texture a dense, columnar rhythm. Numerals follow the same tall, compressed proportions, with rounded forms kept taut and upright.
Best suited to display settings where its tall, compressed forms can create impact—film titles, event posters, magazine heads, and brand marks. It can also work on packaging or signage when you want a compact footprint with strong presence, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone feels strongly vintage and performative, evoking poster lettering and early 20th‑century display aesthetics. Its narrow, towering silhouettes and sculpted curves read as dramatic and slightly mysterious, with a refined, marquee-like presence.
The design appears intended as a bold, space-efficient display sans that channels Deco-inspired geometry through rounded-rectangle construction. It prioritizes dramatic verticality and a consistent, sculpted rhythm to deliver a distinctive headline voice.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and the condensed proportions create strong vertical emphasis, which can make long passages feel intense but gives headlines a striking, architectural cadence. The rounded-rect geometry keeps the style cohesive across caps, lowercase, and figures.
