A condensed display face with tall proportions, compact counters, and a distinctly vertical rhythm. Strokes alternate between sturdy verticals and very thin hairlines, creating a pronounced contrast that reads crisp at larger sizes. Curves tend toward rounded-rectangle/superellipse construction, with softened corners and smooth, controlled terminals. Several uppercase forms use arched, doorway-like tops and slender crossbars, while lowercase shapes keep a tidy, modern structure with a single-storey a and compact bowls. Numerals follow the same condensed geometry, with fine internal links and tight apertures.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short blocks of copy where its contrast and condensed proportions can create a strong vertical cadence. It works well for editorial design, fashion and cultural posters, brand wordmarks, and packaging where a sleek, upscale impression is desired.
The overall tone feels refined and architectural—clean, stylish, and slightly theatrical. Its high-contrast, streamlined shapes evoke a contemporary take on early 20th‑century display lettering, balancing elegance with a cool, modern restraint.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver a modern, condensed display voice built from rounded-rectangular geometry and sharp contrast, prioritizing style, rhythm, and compactness for impactful titling.
The design relies on thin connections and hairline horizontals, so texture can shift noticeably with size and output method. In continuous text the condensed width and contrast produce a distinctive, patterned color rather than a neutral paragraph voice.
