A tall, condensed display face built from slender monoline outlines with a consistent inline cut running through many strokes, creating a hollowed, double-stroked effect. Curves are smooth and geometric-leaning, with rounded bowls and narrow apertures, while terminals stay clean and lightly rounded rather than sharply serifed. Proportions emphasize height over width; ascenders are long, counters are small, and the lowercase reads compact with a comparatively low x-height. Numerals and capitals follow the same narrow rhythm, with simple, legible shapes that keep the inline detailing as the primary texture.
Best suited to display roles such as posters, headlines, and prominent titling where the inline detail can read clearly. It also fits boutique branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from a vintage, decorative tone, especially when set with generous tracking or used in short phrases.
The inline construction and elongated proportions evoke a vintage sign-painting and Art Deco atmosphere—stylish, airy, and slightly theatrical. It feels refined but playful, lending a boutique, cocktail-lounge, or poster-like character rather than a utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic condensed display silhouette enhanced by an inline carving for instant ornamentation, turning simple letterforms into a lightweight, showy texture. It prioritizes stylized impact and period flavor over neutral text economy.
Stroke detailing remains consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, so the font produces a distinctive striped texture in text blocks. The narrow set and small counters can make dense paragraphs feel busy at small sizes, while larger settings highlight the decorative inner line most clearly.
