A highly condensed, monoline sans with tall proportions and rounded-rectangle (superelliptical) counters. Strokes stay even and crisp, with gently softened corners and mostly squared terminals that keep the texture controlled. Curves are narrow and vertical in feel, producing compact bowls and slim apertures, while rounded shapes like O and 0 read as upright capsules rather than true circles. Overall spacing and rhythm emphasize a vertical, streamlined silhouette with a tight, display-oriented color.
Best suited to headlines, posters, titles, and brand marks where a tall, condensed word shape helps conserve horizontal space. It also fits signage and editorial display settings that benefit from a clean, retro-leaning geometric voice, especially at medium to large sizes.
The narrow geometry and softened corners create a sleek, vintage-modern tone that feels both refined and slightly theatrical. It evokes mid‑century signage and poster typography, delivering a stylish, confident voice without ornamentation.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact display sans that combines strict vertical economy with softened superelliptical forms. By keeping strokes monoline and corners rounded, it aims for a clean, modern finish while retaining a distinctive vintage poster sensibility.
Distinctive capsule-like rounds and compressed counters give the font a strong identity; at small sizes these tight openings can reduce clarity, while at larger sizes the vertical rhythm becomes a defining graphic feature. Numerals follow the same tall, condensed construction, matching the alphabet’s linear, architectural cadence.
