A compact, vertically oriented sans with softened, rounded-rectangle geometry. Strokes are heavy and uniform, with minimal modulation and a steady rhythm that emphasizes tall stems and tight counters. Curves resolve into superelliptical bowls and terminals, giving letters a smooth, machined feel, while inner apertures stay narrow and controlled. The overall construction reads geometric and consistent, with spacing designed for tight, display-driven setting.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, signage, logotypes, and packaging where its condensed footprint and heavy presence can work at larger sizes. It can also serve as a branding accent font when used sparingly, especially in stacked compositions and tight vertical layouts.
The font conveys a confident, vintage-leaning display tone with strong Art Deco and poster influences. Its tall proportions and rounded industrial shapes feel theatrical and urban, suggesting classic signage and headline typography with a modern, cleaned-up finish.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in limited horizontal space while retaining a smooth, geometric friendliness through rounded-rectangle construction. It prioritizes silhouette and rhythm over open counters, aiming for a distinctive display voice reminiscent of streamlined, deco-era forms.
Round letters (like O/C) appear as elongated capsules with small counters, and many forms rely on straight-sided stems paired with rounded corners. Numerals and uppercase maintain the same condensed, vertical cadence, producing an assertive texture in blocks of text where word shapes become bold silhouettes.
