A condensed, monoline sans with tall, streamlined proportions and rounded-rectangle construction in bowls and counters. Curves tend toward superelliptical shapes with softened corners, while vertical strokes dominate the rhythm and keep the texture even. Terminals are clean and mostly squared-off, with restrained curvature in letters like C, O, and S; joins stay simple and mechanical rather than calligraphic. Lowercase forms are compact with a notably small x-height and short ascenders/descenders relative to the prominent capitals, producing a headline-oriented silhouette. Numerals and punctuation follow the same narrow, upright geometry, with oval figures and vertically emphasized forms that read cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where its tall, condensed structure can project elegance without consuming horizontal space. It also works well for logotypes and packaging—especially in retro or Art Deco-influenced branding—where the geometric, rounded-rectilinear forms become a recognizable signature. For long-form text, it is likely most effective in short bursts (subheads, labels, captions) rather than dense paragraphs.
The overall tone is classic and architectural, evoking Art Deco signage and early-modernist poster typography. Its narrow stance and rounded-rectilinear curves feel refined and slightly theatrical, balancing precision with a friendly softness at the corners. The result is a retro-modern voice that reads as stylish, curated, and distinctly display-driven.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, period-evocative display sans that remains clean and contemporary through monoline construction and controlled geometry. By combining narrow proportions with rounded-rectangle curves, it aims to feel both architectural and approachable, offering a strong visual identity for titles and branding.
Capitals carry much of the personality, with several letters built from straight verticals and tight-radius curves that create a consistent, column-like cadence. Round characters appear more like elongated capsules than circles, and the spacing in running text feels intentionally airy, emphasizing the vertical rhythm. The font’s distinctive proportions make it more expressive than neutral, especially in mixed-case settings where the small lowercase height increases contrast between cases.
