A tall, condensed sans with pronounced stroke modulation and compact proportions. Curves are smooth and slightly pinched, while verticals carry most of the visual weight, creating a strong columnar rhythm. Terminals are clean and mostly squared-off, with occasional tapered joins that emphasize the modulated drawing. Counters are relatively tight, and the overall spacing feels economical, supporting dense setting while keeping letterforms distinct.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of text where a compact footprint and strong vertical emphasis are desirable. It can work well for branding and packaging that want a retro display tone without resorting to overt ornament. In longer passages, it’s likely most comfortable at moderate-to-large sizes where the tight counters and modulation remain clear.
The font reads as vintage-leaning and slightly theatrical, with a confident, poster-like presence. Its narrow stance and modulated strokes add a touch of personality that feels editorial and a bit quirky rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving display sans with a distinctive, modulated stroke voice—balancing clean, sans construction with a vintage-inflected rhythm that stands out in titles and promotional typography.
The uppercase set maintains a consistent tall silhouette, while the lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes (notably in rounded letters and the hooks on forms like j and y), which adds character in text. Numerals follow the same condensed, modulated logic and appear designed to hold their own in display settings.
