A tall, tightly set display sans with narrow proportions and largely consistent stroke thickness. Forms are built from straight vertical stems and broad, rounded curves, producing an elongated silhouette with compact counters. Terminals often end in softly rounded caps, and several glyphs show stylized, asymmetric construction (notably in curving letters and diagonals), giving the alphabet a distinctive, slightly eccentric rhythm. Numerals follow the same condensed, vertical emphasis, reading cleanly at large sizes with a crisp, graphic profile.
Best suited to headlines, posters, wordmarks, and short display lines where its condensed height and stylized construction can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging and signage that aims for a vintage or nightlife-inspired look, but is less appropriate for long passages of small text.
The overall tone feels Art Deco–leaning and theatrical, with a vintage poster sensibility. Its elongated shapes and controlled geometry suggest nightlife signage, period titling, and curated retro branding rather than everyday text.
Likely intended as a characterful condensed display face that evokes early-20th-century modernism while maintaining simple, sans-like construction. The design emphasizes verticality, clean geometry, and distinctive letter silhouettes to stand out in titles and branding.
Spacing and internal shapes create a strong vertical cadence, with many letters appearing designed to align on a narrow set width while still allowing some character-to-character variation. The design prioritizes silhouette and rhythm over conventional neutrality, making it most compelling when set with ample tracking and generous line spacing.
