A tightly condensed display face built from tall, superellipse-like strokes and rounded-rectangle bowls. The forms emphasize verticality with long straight stems, compact counters, and softened corners that keep the geometry smooth rather than sharp. Curves are narrow and upright, with open apertures kept to a minimum, giving letters a sculpted, columnar rhythm. Terminals are generally blunt and clean, and the overall silhouette reads as compact and high-impact, with consistent proportions across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Works best for headlines, posters, titles, and branding where a compact, high-impact presence is needed. The narrow build makes it useful for fitting large type into tight horizontal space, such as packaging, magazine mastheads, event graphics, and logo wordmarks.
The tone is dramatic and stylized, evoking Art Deco and poster-era typography through its tall proportions and architectural geometry. It feels assertive and luxurious, with a slightly theatrical, retro-modern flair that suits statement-setting headlines more than quiet body copy.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-efficient display voice with an architectural, Deco-leaning geometry. Its simplified, rounded-rectangle construction prioritizes striking rhythm and strong silhouettes for attention-grabbing typography.
The condensed width and tight interior spaces create strong texture in lines of text; spacing and word shapes become highly vertical and uniform. Numerals and uppercase forms appear especially suited to titling, while the lowercase maintains the same narrow, upright cadence for cohesive mixed-case settings.
