A tall, condensed sans with a monoline stroke and softly rounded corners throughout. Curves resolve into narrow, capsule-like bowls and rounded-rectangle counters, while straight stems stay clean and vertical, creating a consistent, architectural rhythm. The overall drawing favors slim apertures and compact widths, with occasional open joins and simplified terminals that keep the texture even in continuous text.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, poster titles, brand marks, and packaging where its tall silhouette can create a distinctive vertical presence. It can work in short editorial callouts or pull quotes, especially with increased letterspacing, but extended small-size text may feel compressed because of the tight counters.
The font reads poised and sophisticated, with a subtle Art Deco sensibility driven by its elongated proportions and rounded-rectilinear geometry. Its light touch and restrained detailing give it an airy, high-end feel that can skew fashion-forward, editorial, or retro-modern depending on layout and spacing.
Likely designed to deliver a sleek, modern display sans that channels geometric, Deco-leaning proportions without ornament. The consistent monoline construction and rounded-rectangle forms prioritize a clean, stylized word-shape that stands out in branding and titling.
Round letters like O and Q appear vertically stretched with tight internal space, and the figures echo the same narrow, streamlined construction. The condensed build makes spacing and line length particularly impactful: generous tracking amplifies the sleek look, while tight setting can feel dense due to the small counters.
