A tall, condensed display face built from slender, largely monoline strokes with sharp terminals and faceted corners. Curves are reduced into angular segments, giving bowls and joins a chiseled, geometric feel, while occasional tapered tips add a drawn, stylized edge. Capitals are narrow and vertical, with compact counters and simplified crossbars; lowercase follows the same elongated rhythm with minimal rounding and a restrained, consistent stroke presence. Overall spacing and proportions create a tight, vertical cadence suited to headline settings.
Best used for posters, title cards, album or event graphics, and branding where a strong vertical silhouette is desirable. It performs well in short-to-medium display lines, especially when you want a vintage-deco tone; for longer passages, generous tracking and larger sizes help preserve clarity.
The letterforms evoke a vintage showcard sensibility with an Art Deco flavor—sleek, dramatic, and slightly ominous. Its pointed ends and crystalline geometry read as theatrical and stylish, lending a distinctive, offbeat sophistication to short statements and titling.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, hand-rendered display look with Deco-inspired geometry—prioritizing stylized silhouette and mood over neutral readability. It aims to create a memorable, elongated texture that stands out in titling and graphic applications.
Several glyphs incorporate small notches, angled shoulders, and inset corners that emphasize a cut-metal or carved-pen illusion. Numerals mirror the same narrow, angular construction, maintaining a cohesive texture across mixed alphanumeric text.
