A condensed, monolinear sans with tall proportions and softly squared, superelliptic curves. Strokes are generally even with subtle flare at terminals, producing rounded-rectangle counters and a clean vertical rhythm. Curves on letters like O, C, and G feel squarish rather than geometric-circular, while joins stay smooth and controlled. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, modern construction with compact bowls and a neatly restrained shoulder/arm treatment, maintaining consistent texture in text despite the narrow set width.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short passages where space is tight and a distinctive vertical rhythm is desirable. It works well for branding, packaging, and poster typography that aims for a refined, retro-modern look. In editorial layouts, it can add a stylish, high-impact voice for titles and pull quotes.
The overall tone is sleek and period-influenced, evoking Art Deco display lettering with a contemporary cleanliness. Its tall, streamlined forms feel refined and architectural, lending a poised, slightly theatrical elegance. The narrow stance and soft corners add a fashionable, boutique sensibility without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to provide a condensed display sans with superelliptic geometry—capturing an Art Deco-inspired silhouette while staying clean and usable in contemporary layout. Its consistent stroke and softened corners aim to deliver a polished, elegant texture at larger sizes and compact headline settings.
In running text, the condensed width produces a strong vertical cadence and a dense typographic color, especially in mixed-case settings. Numerals and capitals share the same tall, columnar presence, making headings feel unified and regimented. The rounder, softened corners keep the design from feeling rigid, balancing severity with approachability.
