A tall, condensed sans with consistently thin strokes and a clean, linear build. Forms are generally geometric with softened, rounded corners and occasional tapered joins that add a slightly calligraphic snap without breaking the overall monoline impression. The capitals favor narrow bowls and open apertures, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) appear crisp and steep, reinforcing the vertical rhythm. Lowercase maintains a modest, readable x-height for the style, with simple single-storey constructions and compact counters; figures are similarly slim, with distinctive curved terminals on several numerals.
Well suited to display settings where a tall, elegant voice is desired—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and storefront or wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or titles where its narrow footprint helps fit text into tight vertical layouts, provided the size and spacing support readability.
The overall tone feels retro and design-forward, evoking early 20th‑century display lettering and architectural signage. Its restrained line weight reads refined and airy, while the elongated proportions add sophistication and a hint of theatricality. The personality is modern-minimal at first glance, but the quirky terminals and idiosyncratic curves keep it from feeling purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, space-saving display sans with a vintage-leaning, Deco-inspired flavor. By combining strict vertical proportions with selectively stylized curves and terminals, it aims to feel both clean and distinctive in branding and titling contexts.
Spacing and rhythm are driven by vertical strokes, giving lines a steady, columnar cadence. Several glyphs show deliberate quirks—particularly in curved letters and some numerals—adding character that becomes more noticeable in longer text. The thin weight and condensed build suggest best results with adequate size, contrast, and comfortable line spacing.
