A tall, tightly condensed sans with softly squared, superellipse-like curves and predominantly vertical construction. Strokes are fairly even with modest contrast, producing crisp silhouettes that stay consistent across straight and rounded forms. Counters are narrow and upright, terminals are clean and uncluttered, and the overall rhythm is compact with strong columnar spacing. Figures follow the same compressed logic, reading clearly with slim bowls and straight-sided geometry.
Best suited to headlines, posters, cover titles, and branding where a compact but striking word shape is useful. It can work well for packaging and signage that needs a tall, space-efficient display face, and it performs most convincingly at medium-to-large sizes where its narrow counters stay open.
The tone feels retro and theatrical, with a confident, poster-ready presence driven by its height and compression. Its rounded-rectangle shaping adds a polished, display-oriented character that reads as stylish rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive condensed display voice with geometric, rounded-rectangle forms and a controlled, consistent texture. It prioritizes strong vertical presence and efficient width for impactful typography in limited horizontal space.
Round letters such as O and Q appear more like rounded rectangles than circles, reinforcing a geometric, engineered look. The compressed proportions create strong vertical emphasis and a distinctive texture in blocks of text, especially at larger sizes.
