A condensed, monoline sans with tall proportions and a distinctly stylized construction. Strokes keep a consistent thickness, but letterforms use sharp, tapered terminals and occasional triangular joins that create a chiseled, poster-like silhouette. Curves are narrow and controlled (notably in C, O, and S), while verticals dominate the rhythm; counters tend to be slim and elongated. Several forms show deliberate idiosyncrasies—such as an angular A with a pointed apex, a sharply notched G, and a high, narrow waist in many lowercase letters—giving the set a cohesive decorative logic without adding true serifs.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, title sequences, packaging, and brand marks where its condensed build and stylized terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can work for short subheads and pull quotes, but the narrow counters and distinctive constructions may reduce comfort in long-form reading.
The overall tone reads as vintage and theatrical, with strong Art Deco/cinema-title energy. Its narrow, towering stance and sharpened endings suggest elegance and drama rather than neutrality, making text feel curated and display-driven.
The design appears intended to evoke a streamlined, period-inspired display voice—compressing width for impactful headlines while adding angular details to differentiate it from neutral grotesques. The consistent stroke weight and controlled curves aim for a clean silhouette, while the pointed terminals and bespoke letterforms deliver character and memorability.
Spacing and texture appear tight and vertical, producing a strong columnar color in words. Numerals share the same condensed, carved quality, with simple, legible shapes that match the uppercase’s narrow geometry.
