A condensed display face built from tall, tightly spaced letterforms with a consistent vertical rhythm. Strokes read as mostly even in weight, but each stem is visually articulated by a narrow interior inline channel that creates a carved, hollowed look—especially prominent on verticals. Curves are smooth and upright with slightly softened terminals, while counters stay relatively small due to the narrow proportions. The overall texture is dark and linear, with strong emphasis on verticality and a distinctive striped effect in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, titles, and brand marks where its vertical presence and inline detailing can be appreciated. It can also add a period-flavored accent to packaging, signage, and editorial display settings, especially when used with generous tracking or in larger sizes.
The inline carving and extreme vertical proportions evoke a stage-poster, Art Deco sensibility—sleek, dramatic, and a bit showy. It feels vintage and metropolitan, with a refined theatricality that stands out in short bursts of text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum personality within a compact width, using an inline cut to create a decorative, dimensional effect without adding weight. Its consistent construction prioritizes a cohesive, attention-grabbing display voice over neutral text readability.
The inline detail adds visual complexity that can fill in at small sizes, so the design reads most clearly when given ample size and breathing room. Numerals match the condensed, upright construction and maintain the same internal line motif for a unified set.
