A tall, tightly condensed sans with a squared-off, superelliptical skeleton: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and arches, and vertical strokes dominate the texture. Stroke weight is consistently heavy with subtle contrast, keeping counters relatively narrow and creating a strong, continuous rhythm in lines of text. Terminals are clean and mostly straight, with soft corner rounding that prevents the forms from feeling sharp; joins are compact and the overall geometry reads as engineered and uniform.
Best used for display sizes where its compressed width and heavy presence can create impactful headlines, posters, and logo wordmarks. It can also work well in signage or packaging systems that need a tall, space-saving type style with a strong, unified rhythm, especially in short bursts rather than extended reading.
The design evokes a streamlined, early-modernist sensibility—part Art Deco, part industrial signage—with a confident, poster-like voice. Its narrow proportions and dense color give it an assertive, urban tone that feels suited to nightlife, transportation, or architectural branding contexts.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual impact in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a controlled, geometric aesthetic. Its rounded-rectangle construction suggests an intention to blend modern cleanliness with vintage, streamlined references, yielding a distinctive condensed voice for attention-grabbing typography.
Round letters such as O/Q show vertically biased, capsule-like counters, reinforcing the condensed feel, while diagonals (e.g., V/W/Y) are drawn narrowly to preserve the same vertical cadence. The numerals match the same tall, compact construction, contributing to a consistent, display-oriented texture across mixed alphanumerics.
