A condensed, monoline sans with tall proportions and rounded-rectangular (superelliptical) bowls. Strokes stay consistently thin with minimal modulation, and terminals are cleanly finished, often with softly rounded ends. Curves are narrow and verticalized, giving letters like O, U, and n a streamlined, capsule-like silhouette, while counters remain small and controlled. Overall spacing and rhythm favor a vertical, architectural feel, with distinctive, simplified forms in letters such as G, S, and the angular numerals.
Best suited to headlines, titling, posters, and identity work where its condensed silhouette and decorative-leaning geometry can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when space is tight, though the thin strokes and compact counters suggest avoiding very small text sizes.
The face reads as poised and slightly theatrical, channeling a vintage, Art Deco–leaning elegance without becoming ornate. Its narrow, upright stance and smooth geometry create a composed, metropolitan tone suited to refined display settings.
The design appears intended to provide a sleek, space-saving display voice with a vintage-modern flavor, combining geometric superelliptical forms and a disciplined monoline structure for a polished, high-style look.
The design’s character comes from its consistent thin strokes paired with elongated rounded geometry, which makes it feel airy yet structured. Numerals follow the same tall, narrow logic and maintain the clean, linear rhythm seen in the letters.
