A tall, condensed sans with consistent stroke thickness and squared-off curves that read as rounded rectangles rather than circles. Counters are narrow and vertically oriented, with generous internal whitespace where possible, giving the alphabet an airy but structured rhythm. Terminals are smooth and clean, with rounded corners throughout; bowls and arches keep a superelliptical feel that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms with compact shoulders and tight apertures, while numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction for a cohesive set.
This font is best suited to display settings where its narrow proportions and geometric rounding can carry a strong stylistic message—headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding-style signage, and brand marks. It can also work well on packaging and editorial pull quotes when set with comfortable tracking and ample leading.
The overall tone feels refined and metropolitan, with an Art Deco–leaning elegance driven by height, restraint, and geometric rounding. It suggests vintage signage and poster typography, but with a clean, contemporary polish that keeps it from feeling overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to evoke a streamlined, Deco-inspired modernism using condensed proportions and rounded-rectangle geometry. Its consistent stroke and simplified forms prioritize a strong silhouette and repeatable rhythm for impactful display typography.
The design relies on verticality and tight width for impact, so spacing and line length will strongly affect readability. Its distinctive superelliptical rounding gives repeated shapes (like O/0 and rounded bowls) a cohesive, architectural personality.
