A sharply condensed display sans with tall proportions, tight apertures, and an emphatically vertical rhythm. Strokes stay fairly even with subtle modulation, and terminals are predominantly flat or square-cut, giving the forms a crisp, engineered look. Curves are restrained and often pulled into narrow ovals, while counters are small and elongated; several letters lean on straight-sided bowls and compact joins to maintain density. The overall spacing reads compact and columnar, producing a dark, continuous texture in text despite the clean, serifless construction.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, identity marks, packaging labels, and signage where a tall, condensed voice can save space while adding character. It will read most confidently at medium-to-large sizes, where the narrow counters and tight apertures remain legible and the Art Deco flavor becomes a feature rather than a constraint.
The font evokes an Art Deco and jazz-era sensibility—stylish, metropolitan, and slightly dramatic. Its narrow, high-contrast-in-spirit silhouette (via proportion more than stroke) suggests signage, nightlife, and vintage poster typography with a controlled, modern edge.
The design appears intended as a compact, attention-getting display sans that channels vintage, architectural lettering while remaining clean and systematic. Its purpose is to deliver strong verticality and period-tinged personality in limited horizontal space.
The numerals and capitals follow the same compressed geometry, with squared shoulders and tight bowls that emphasize a poster-like presence. In running text, the dense rhythm favors short lines and larger sizes where the distinctive silhouettes stay clear and intentional.
