A condensed display face built from tall, rounded-rectangle forms with crisp, squared terminals and tight internal counters. Curves read as superelliptical—more like softened rectangles than circles—creating a disciplined, architectural rhythm. Many letters show deliberate interior cut-ins and narrow apertures that add bite and separation (notably in bowls and joins), while maintaining a consistent, high-ink silhouette. The lowercase is compact with short ascenders/descenders, and the numerals match the same vertical, blocky construction for a unified texture in text and figures.
Well-suited for posters, headlines, and title typography where its condensed, sculpted forms can create strong vertical rhythm. It can also work for logos and packaging that benefit from a retro-modern, architectural voice, and for editorial display lines where a distinctive texture is desired.
The overall tone feels vintage and metropolitan, with a clear Art Deco influence: sleek, upright, and assertive. Its compressed proportions and sculpted counters give it a confident, theatrical presence that reads as both classic and stylized rather than neutral.
The design appears intended as a stylized display sans that merges geometric, rounded-rectangle construction with purposeful internal cut-ins to keep narrow letters legible and lively. The goal seems to be a compact, high-impact texture that evokes Deco-era signage while remaining clean and contemporary in construction.
Round letters like O/C/G and bowls in B/P/R lean toward squared curves, producing a strong columnar texture in lines of text. The design’s narrow openings and internal notches can create striking word shapes at display sizes, but may require generous size or spacing for maximum clarity in dense settings.
