A highly condensed, vertically stretched sans with smooth, rounded-rectangle construction and crisp, high-contrast stroke behavior. Curves are taut and controlled, with narrow counters and long straight stems that give the alphabet a strong upward pull. Many forms show subtle flared joins and softened terminals, keeping the geometry sleek rather than mechanical. Overall spacing and rhythm are tight and columnar, producing an elegant, poster-like texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed silhouette can create impact without taking much horizontal space—headlines, posters, titling, and brand marks. It can also work for short bursts of text such as packaging callouts or magazine section headers, where its rhythmic verticality remains legible at larger sizes.
The font conveys a stylish, vintage glamour associated with Art Deco-era titling, mixing refinement with a slightly dramatic, theatrical edge. Its narrow proportions and polished curves feel fashionable and metropolitan, suited to brands that want a distinctive, upscale tone.
Designed to deliver a compact, elegant headline voice with a distinctly geometric, Deco-leaning construction. The intention appears to balance sharp modern clarity with classic, high-style proportions for branding and titling.
Round letters lean toward pill-shaped bowls, and several capitals feature distinctive internal joins that add character without becoming ornate. Numerals follow the same tall, narrow silhouette, reading cleanly while reinforcing the typeface’s display-first personality.
