A condensed, monoline sans with a tall vertical emphasis and compact horizontal proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) forms, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and largely uniform, with straight stems and controlled, slightly flattened curves that keep stroke behavior consistent across the set. Spacing is tight but orderly, producing an even rhythm in text while retaining distinct silhouettes in narrow widths.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where a condensed footprint is helpful: headlines, subheads, posters, and editorial layouts that need a tall, efficient texture. It can also work well on packaging and signage where space is limited but a structured, modern voice is desired.
The overall tone feels streamlined and metropolitan, with a classic Art Deco echo translated into a contemporary, utilitarian voice. Its narrow, upright stance and softened-rectilinear curves convey efficiency and structure while still reading refined and designed. The result is a confident, poster-ready presence that stays disciplined rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver an Art Deco–leaning condensed sans that feels contemporary and highly space-efficient. By using superelliptic curves and a consistent monoline construction, it aims for a crisp, engineered look that remains readable and cohesive in dense settings.
Uppercase forms are especially vertical and architectural, while the lowercase keeps a compact, tall profile that preserves legibility in condensed settings. Numerals follow the same squared-round construction, matching the typeface’s consistent geometric logic and maintaining a cohesive texture in mixed text and numbers.
