A tall, condensed roman with consistent stroke weight and crisp, squared terminals that read as subtle slab-like serifs. Curves are narrow and controlled, with rounded corners and softly bracketed joins that keep the shapes from feeling mechanical. Counters are slim and vertical, and the overall rhythm is even and linear, creating a clean, columnar texture in text. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, readable build with simple bowls and restrained apertures, while figures are similarly narrow and aligned to the same upright, elongated proportions.
Best suited to display typography where its condensed proportions and crisp terminals can carry personality—posters, packaging, menus, signage, and editorial headlines. It also works well for logotypes or wordmarks that need a tall, space-saving footprint with a retro-leaning voice.
The tone lands in a vintage, display-oriented space: refined and orderly, but with a quirky, personable edge from the rounded corners and petite slab terminals. It suggests early-20th-century signage and titling traditions—stylish and slightly theatrical—without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, monoline reading experience with a nod to slab-serif structure, balancing clarity with a period-inspired flair. Its consistent stroke and carefully controlled curves aim for a tidy, high-contrast silhouette at display sizes while keeping text texture smooth and regular.
In longer settings, the condensed width creates a strong vertical cadence and a light, open page color, especially at larger sizes. The small slab-like terminals add definition at line ends and stems, helping characters stay distinct despite the narrow counters.
