A highly condensed, monoline sans with an Art Deco–leaning construction. Strokes are consistently thin with minimal modulation, and many capitals are built from tall verticals paired with generous circular bowls and open counters. Several glyphs use decorative internal striping or doubled stems (notably in forms like E, I, M, W), creating a layered line effect while keeping the outer silhouette clean. Curves are smooth and near-geometric, terminals are crisp and mostly blunt, and proportions skew tall with ample sidebearings in round letters like O/C/G.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, headlines, event titles, and packaging where its condensed footprint and Deco styling can stand out. It can also work for distinctive wordmarks and short pull quotes, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone feels vintage and showy—more lounge, marquee, or 1920s poster than neutral modernism. Its tall, needle-like verticals and occasional inline detailing add drama and a slightly playful eccentricity, while the round forms keep it airy and refined.
The design appears intended to evoke classic Art Deco display lettering in a clean, digital form: tall, economical widths paired with geometric curves and selective inline striping for theatrical emphasis. It prioritizes personality and silhouette over long-form readability, aiming to deliver a stylish, period-tinged voice in compact space.
Capitals dominate the texture with very tall proportions, while the lowercase appears lighter and more utilitarian by comparison, emphasizing a strong cap/lc contrast in presence. Numerals follow the same thin, condensed logic, with several figures relying on sweeping curves and simplified joins that read best at display sizes.
