A condensed display serif with a monoline backbone and sharply tapered, wedge-like terminals that read as refined serifs rather than slabs. The forms mix straight stems with squared curves and flattened bowls, giving many letters a gently rectangular silhouette (notably in C, O, D, and the numerals). Capitals are tall and narrow with crisp joins and occasional diagonal accents; the lowercase follows with a short x-height, upright stress, and compact counters that keep rhythm tight. Stroke endings are consistently pointed or sheared, and curves are drawn with controlled, slightly boxy rounding that reinforces the engineered, vertical texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a tall, condensed voice helps fit more characters into limited width. It also works well for signage and titling that benefits from a retro, Art Deco-leaning sophistication, particularly at medium to large sizes where the sharp terminals and compact counters stay clear.
The overall tone feels vintage and metropolitan—poised, stylized, and slightly theatrical. Its narrow proportions and sharp terminals evoke early 20th‑century signage and title typography, balancing elegance with an architectural, machine-made clarity.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, condensed display serif that channels geometric, Deco-era styling while maintaining a clean monoline construction. Its consistent wedge terminals and squared curves suggest a focus on impactful titles and identity work rather than long-form readability.
Numbers and capitals are especially strong and geometric, producing a uniform vertical cadence. Round characters are intentionally squared-off, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) add crisp sparkle; together these traits make the face read more as a display serif than a general-purpose text design.
