A condensed geometric sans with a tall, column-like stance and a crisp, disciplined rhythm. Many curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse) shapes, creating vertical counters and pill-like bowls, while straight strokes stay clean and even. Terminals are mostly flat or softly rounded, and several letters emphasize strong vertical stems with compact, simplified joins, producing a sleek, display-oriented texture. Figures follow the same narrow, vertical logic, with rounded ends and minimal interior space in the heavier curved parts.
Best suited for short display settings where its condensed geometry and superelliptic curves can read clearly—headlines, titles, posters, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work as an accent typeface in editorial layouts when paired with a more neutral text face.
The overall tone feels Art Deco and retro-modern, mixing showroom elegance with a slightly theatrical, poster-ready presence. Its narrow proportions and stylized bowls read as fashionable and curated rather than utilitarian, evoking classic marquee and editorial display typography.
Likely intended to reinterpret Deco-era condensed display lettering in a contemporary geometric system, using rounded-rectangle bowls and simplified construction to create a memorable, high-contrast silhouette in large sizes.
The design leans on dramatic black shapes in rounded forms alongside thin linear strokes, giving certain letters a striking, emblem-like silhouette. Spacing appears open enough for headlines, but the condensed width and distinctive bowls make it more characterful than neutral at text sizes.
