A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and smooth, rounded turns. The design leans geometric, with near-circular bowls (notably in O/Q) contrasted by long, straight verticals and sparing horizontal elements, giving it a light, columnar rhythm. Terminals are generally clean and blunt, and joins are simplified, producing an even, uncluttered texture. Uppercase forms feel especially elongated, while the lowercase is compact with small counters and notably short extenders, reinforcing a display-oriented proportion set.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short phrases where its narrow, vertical rhythm can create a strong graphic presence. It can work well for logos and packaging that want an elegant, retro-modern mood, and for editorial or event collateral where display typography is the focus.
The overall tone is refined and lightly theatrical, with a strong Art Deco flavor created by the narrow stance and elongated vertical emphasis. It reads as poised and stylish rather than utilitarian, suggesting period-inspired sophistication and a curated, boutique sensibility.
The letterforms appear designed to capture an Art Deco–leaning, geometric elegance in a condensed footprint, prioritizing stylish vertical proportions and smooth, simplified construction for impactful display typography.
The numerals echo the same tall geometry, with rounded figures (0, 8, 9) balancing straighter, more linear forms (1, 4, 7). In text, the tight apertures and compressed lowercase make word shapes distinctive but more decorative than purely legibility-driven at small sizes.
