A condensed, monoline sans with rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) construction and softly radiused corners throughout. Strokes are even and clean with minimal modulation, giving the design a sleek, linear rhythm. Curves tend to resolve into straight verticals, producing tall, compact counters and a streamlined silhouette; uppercase forms feel architectural while lowercase mixes simple bowls with occasional sharper joins. Numerals match the same narrow, upright stance and open, rounded terminals.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short blocks of text where its condensed geometry can create a strong vertical presence. It works well for branding and packaging that lean toward a polished, vintage-modern aesthetic, and for editorial display settings where a distinctive, space-saving sans is needed.
The tone is distinctly Art Deco and modernist: poised, metropolitan, and slightly theatrical without becoming ornamental. Its tall proportions and smooth corners read as elegant and curated, suited to designs that want a retro-luxe flavor with contemporary cleanliness.
The design appears intended to reinterpret Art Deco-era streamlined lettering through a contemporary, monoline superelliptic lens—prioritizing narrow efficiency, clean repetition of shapes, and an elegant, architectural feel.
The alphabet shows consistent rounding at corners and terminals, with a strong vertical emphasis and compact apertures that create a crisp texture in lines of text. The overall spacing and condensed fit produce a tight, display-oriented cadence that feels more headline than paragraph.
