This typeface is built from tall, compact proportions with a consistent stroke weight and a distinctly geometric construction. Curves tend toward rounded-rectangle forms, with smooth, elongated bowls and narrow apertures that keep letters vertically oriented and space-efficient. Many joins and terminals are cut with angled, wedge-like shapes, creating sharp internal corners and a subtly “carved” rhythm within an otherwise clean, monoline structure. Counters are tight and vertical, and the overall texture feels even and controlled, especially in continuous text.
It performs best in display settings where its tall geometry and angled terminals can be appreciated: headlines, poster titles, branding marks, packaging, and short signage lines. In longer passages it can still work at comfortable sizes, but the tight apertures and condensed proportions favor succinct text and clear hierarchy rather than dense small-size reading.
The overall tone reads as Art Deco–leaning and architectural: streamlined, decorative in its details, and slightly theatrical without becoming ornate. The angled terminals add a crisp, poster-era flavor that suggests vintage signage and stylized display typography while remaining relatively restrained and modern in silhouette.
The font appears intended to blend a streamlined geometric base with distinctive terminal cuts to evoke a vintage-modern, Art Deco sensibility. Its narrow stance and consistent stroke aim for efficient, high-impact setting, while the wedge-like details provide recognizable character for identity and titling use.
The design’s personality comes primarily from its repeated diagonal cut-ins and pointed joins, which create a consistent motif across caps, lowercase, and figures. Round characters maintain a narrow stance, and straight stems feel columnar, giving the font a strong vertical cadence. Figures appear similarly tall and compact, matching the text color and rhythm of the alphabet.
