A tall, tightly set sans with monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into soft corners rather than true circles, giving counters an elongated, superelliptical feel. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, while joins stay crisp and vertical, producing a strong up-and-down rhythm. The overall silhouette is narrow and high-contrast in proportion (long ascenders/descenders and compact widths), with consistent stroke behavior across letters and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and short display text where its condensed build and strong vertical rhythm can create impact without needing heavy weight. It works well for posters, signage, packaging, and brand wordmarks that want a sleek, retro-modern voice, and can add a distinctive tone to UI labels or navigation where space is limited.
The tone feels streamlined and architectural, with clear Art Deco and mid‑century display cues. Its narrow, upright stance reads poised and efficient, conveying a cool, metropolitan character that can feel both retro and contemporary depending on setting.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, high-impact display sans built from rounded-rectilinear geometry. It prioritizes a consistent, vertical rhythm and a stylized superelliptical curve language to evoke classic Deco-inspired sophistication while remaining clean and functional.
Lowercase forms are especially tall and linear, with minimal modulation and tight apertures that emphasize verticality. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, staying legible while maintaining the condensed, poster-like rhythm across lines of text.
