A condensed, monoline sans with an extremely tall, elongated structure and tight internal spacing. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse forms, giving O/C/G and the bowls of B/D/P/R a softly squared, verticalized look rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with a consistent stroke weight and crisp joins; diagonals in A/K/V/W/X are straight and taut, reinforcing a linear, architectural rhythm. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction, with simplified, slender shapes that align to the typeface’s vertical emphasis.
Best suited to display settings where height and elegance are assets: headlines, posters, mastheads, branding marks, and packaging. It can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes when generous tracking and leading are used to preserve clarity at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is sleek and refined, with a fashion-forward, poster-like presence. Its tall proportions and softened geometric curves suggest a retro-modern, Art Deco–adjacent mood while remaining contemporary and minimal.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, space-saving vertical silhouette with a refined geometric personality. By combining a strict condensed skeleton with rounded-rectangle curves and consistent strokes, it aims for high-impact display typography that feels both retro-inspired and modern.
Distinctive superelliptic bowls and narrow apertures create a strong vertical texture, especially in longer text where counters become small and rhythm becomes stripe-like. The lowercase maintains the same disciplined geometry, and the ascenders/descenders stay relatively restrained compared to the overall cap height, keeping lines visually tidy and uniform.
