A condensed sans with tall proportions, smooth superelliptic curves, and a distinctly architectural rhythm. Strokes stay mostly uniform, with tight, rounded-rectangle bowls and narrow apertures that keep counters compact. Terminals are clean and squared-off with softened corners, giving curves a polished, machined feel rather than a humanist one. Capitals are narrow and vertical, while lowercase forms remain streamlined with a straight, minimal construction; numerals follow the same tall, compressed silhouette for consistent color in text.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a condensed, stylized sans can add personality without becoming ornate. It can also work for short bursts of editorial text such as pull quotes or section titles, especially when you want a retro-modern tone and efficient horizontal space usage.
The overall tone is sleek and metropolitan, with a clear Art Deco and vintage signage flavor. Its narrow, high-rise forms feel refined and a bit theatrical, balancing sophistication with a slightly playful, stylized geometry.
The design appears intended to fuse a contemporary sans structure with Deco-inspired, rounded-rectangular geometry, creating a space-saving face that reads cleanly while projecting a distinctive, era-evocative character.
The design’s narrow set and compact counters create strong vertical emphasis and an even, dark typographic color. Rounded rectangular bowls and crisp joins make it particularly distinctive at display sizes, where the superelliptic shaping is most apparent.
