A tall, tightly set sans with elongated proportions and mostly monoline strokes. Curves are clean and elliptical, while straight stems stay crisp and vertical, giving the letters a streamlined silhouette. Uppercase forms are narrow and elegant (notably in C, G, O, and Q), and the lowercase maintains a compact body with a relatively small x-height and long ascenders/descenders that add vertical rhythm. Overall spacing and outlines feel disciplined and consistent, with rounded terminals and minimal detailing.
This font is well suited to headlines and titles where vertical elegance and compact width help fit more characters into a line. It works particularly well for posters, signage, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a clean retro-modern impression. For extended small-size text, its narrow build and short lowercase body suggest better results with generous size and leading.
The tone reads sleek and theatrical, evoking vintage poster and marquee lettering with a composed, metropolitan feel. Its condensed stance and smooth geometry create a refined retro voice that can feel both stylish and slightly dramatic without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a streamlined, space-saving display sans with a classic, deco-leaning sophistication. By emphasizing height, smooth curves, and restrained stroke behavior, it aims for a polished look that reads confidently in prominent typographic roles.
Numerals follow the same tall, narrow construction and maintain clear differentiation, with curved figures keeping a smooth, continuous flow. The sample text shows strong line presence at larger sizes, where the verticality and tight forms become a key part of the character.
