A tall, tightly condensed display sans with a strongly vertical posture and superelliptical construction in the rounds. Strokes show pronounced contrast, with thick vertical stems and hairline-like horizontals and joins, producing a crisp, poster-like rhythm. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle counters and softened corners rather than true geometric circles, and terminals are generally clean and flat, occasionally tapering into fine links in letters like S and G. The overall texture is dense and even, with narrow apertures and compact inner spaces that emphasize height and columnar alignment in text.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titles, posters, and branding systems that need a tall, space-saving voice with strong visual impact. It also works well for packaging, signage, and short UI labels where vertical emphasis and a sleek, editorial character are desired. Use generous tracking and sizes that preserve the thin connections for maximum clarity.
The font conveys a refined, stage-ready glamour associated with Art Deco signage and high-end editorial titling. Its narrow, high-contrast structure feels confident and urbane, mixing vintage sophistication with a distinctly contemporary sharpness. The tone is dramatic without ornament, relying on proportion and contrast to create presence.
The design appears intended as a condensed display sans that evokes Deco-era elegance through verticality and superelliptical rounds, while using high contrast to add sharpness and hierarchy. It prioritizes striking silhouette and tight set-width for impactful titling and compact compositions.
In all-caps the design reads especially architectural, with repeated vertical strokes creating a strong barcode-like cadence. The numerals match the condensed, high-contrast logic and feel suited to prominent setting. At smaller sizes, the narrow counters and fine cross-strokes can visually thin, so it favors display use over extended reading.
