A tall, tightly condensed display face built from strong vertical stems and simplified, geometric curves. Stroke contrast is modest but noticeable, with heavier uprights and slightly lighter connecting strokes, producing a crisp, poster-like rhythm. Terminals are squared with subtle flaring and occasional notched/ink-trap-like cut-ins that sharpen joins and keep counters open in the narrow silhouette. The lowercase follows the same compressed structure with compact bowls and short arms, while numerals are similarly streamlined and high-contrast in profile for a cohesive, stacked appearance in text.
Best suited to display applications where a compact width and high visual impact are needed, such as posters, headlines, title cards, and branding. It can work well for packaging and signage that benefits from a vertical, architectural texture, especially in short phrases or all-caps settings.
The overall tone is dramatic and stylized, evoking early 20th-century sign painting and Art Deco-era titling. Its narrow, towering forms feel urbane and slightly noir, projecting confidence and theatricality rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended as a space-efficient, attention-grabbing title face that channels a retro, Art Deco sensibility while maintaining clean, sans-like construction. Its controlled contrast and flared details seem aimed at preserving clarity at display sizes and adding character without ornament.
The condensed proportions create strong vertical texture and a dense typographic color, especially in all-caps settings. Curved letters like C, G, O, and S are drawn with tight, controlled apertures, and the family-wide reliance on vertical stems gives lines a rhythmic, architectural feel.
