A tall, tightly proportioned sans with monoline strokes and strongly condensed letterforms. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel, while vertical stems dominate the rhythm. Terminals are mostly squared or slightly rounded, and several joins resolve into sharp, tapered notches that add crisp articulation without adding true stroke contrast. Overall spacing is compact and the texture reads clean and vertical, with rounded counters in letters like O and 0 maintaining clarity despite the narrow set.
Best suited to display applications where height, compression, and a stylized geometric voice are assets—headlines, posters, signage, logotypes, and packaging. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes where a narrow measure and strong vertical rhythm help conserve space while staying distinctive.
The font conveys a sleek, period-tinged modernity with clear Art Deco undertones. Its narrow, upright stance and rounded-rectangular construction feel both refined and slightly theatrical, suggesting vintage signage, cinematic titles, or streamlined branding.
The design appears intended to deliver an unmistakably condensed, geometric sans with superelliptical curves and Deco-inspired detailing, balancing clean monoline construction with sharp joint accents for personality and memorability.
Distinctive pointed cut-ins at certain joins and terminals create a signature silhouette that reads well at display sizes. Numerals and caps share the same tall, condensed architecture, producing a consistent, poster-like cadence in mixed text.
