This typeface is built from tall, compressed proportions with pronounced vertical stems and relatively minimal horizontal weight, creating a strong vertical rhythm. Curves and bowls read as rounded-rectangle forms, with squared-off shoulders and flat terminals that keep the silhouette crisp. The contrast between thick verticals and hairline horizontals is evident across both capitals and lowercase, and many joins create small notches that behave like subtle ink traps. Overall spacing looks tight and columnar, emphasizing an efficient, stacked texture in words and lines.
It performs best in headlines, posters, and titling where its condensed build and strong contrast can deliver impact at larger sizes. It also suits branding, packaging, and book-cover typography that benefits from a retro-modern, architectural texture. For long passages at small sizes, the tight apertures and fine horizontals may require careful sizing and spacing.
The voice is assertive and theatrical, combining a streamlined geometric look with a vintage, Art Deco–leaning flavor. Its sharp contrast and compressed stance give it a formal, slightly dramatic tone that feels suited to display settings rather than quiet, conversational text.
The design appears intended to maximize presence in a narrow footprint while delivering a sleek, geometric personality. By pairing superelliptical curves with high-contrast structure and flat terminals, it aims to evoke classic display typography with a contemporary, clean-edged execution.
Capitals are especially tall and architectural, while the lowercase maintains the same condensed structure with compact apertures and simplified forms. Numerals follow the same vertical emphasis, producing a cohesive, sign-like set for headings and short strings.
