A tall, condensed serif with a largely monoline stroke and restrained modulation. The proportions are vertical and high-waisted, with small, sharp serifs and subtly flared terminals that keep the rhythm crisp rather than calligraphic. Curves are tightened into rounded-rectangle forms in letters like C, D, O, and Q, while verticals remain straight and even, giving the design a consistent, architectural texture across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. The overall spacing feels tidy and controlled, reinforcing a sleek, columnar word shape in text.
Best used at display sizes where its condensed proportions and sharp serif details remain clear—headlines, magazine mastheads, posters, and brand marks. It also works well for short blocks of editorial text or packaging copy when a refined, space-saving serif is desired.
The font projects a polished, metropolitan character with a hint of vintage modernism. Its narrow build and clean detailing suggest an Art Deco–adjacent elegance—more poised than playful—suited to brands and layouts that want sophistication without heavy ornament.
The design appears intended to combine classic serif cues with a streamlined, geometric construction, creating a distinctive decorative serif that reads as modern-vintage. Its consistent stroke behavior and compressed width prioritize elegant verticality and a clean, curated presence in display typography.
Several glyphs emphasize a geometric “soft-square” bowl construction and long vertical emphasis, producing a distinctive skyline effect in mixed case. Numerals echo the same condensed, monoline logic, with simplified forms and neat terminals that stay visually aligned with the uppercase.
