A tall, condensed display sans with strong vertical emphasis and pronounced stroke modulation. Many forms are built from rounded-rectangle bowls and tight interior counters, producing a crisp, sculpted rhythm. Terminals often end in arched, flared shapes that create an ink-trap-like notch at joins and corners, while curves stay taut and controlled rather than soft. Overall spacing is compact, with narrow apertures and tight sidebearings that reinforce a vertical, poster-like texture across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for large-size use where its condensed silhouette and terminal detailing can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, especially when a compact, vertical typographic color is desired.
The font projects a theatrical, high-impact tone with a distinctly retro-modern flavor. Its compressed proportions and carved terminals feel confident and attention-seeking, evoking headlines, marquees, and dramatic editorial titling rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a distinctive, crafted voice. By combining squared-rounded construction with sculpted terminals and tight counters, it aims to be legible at display sizes while feeling iconic and brandable.
Round letters such as O/Q and e/o show superellipse-like construction with flattened sides and rounded corners, keeping counters small and consistent. Numerals share the same condensed, stylized logic, giving figures a strong, uniform presence in running display text.
